You’ve left me with no words
so I’ll tell you what you left
me with.
The nails on a board repeatedly
scratching away at the skin of green.
The unyielding screech of a child
that refuses to hush.
The unquiet mind of a man that
is only half there.
The crushing caving of a ceiling.
The ear-bleeding crash of a bomb.
The clang,
the boom,
the thump,
Screech,
Crash.
That’s what you’ve left me with.
I really liked your use of descriptive sounds. I thought that was a really interesting way of expressing what the narrator has been left with. It also forces the audience to contemplate what each of these individual sounds are referring to! Good job!
