"If they cut off both hands, I will compose music anyway holding the pen in my teeth." -Shostakovich


pale eyes, blank with madness,

deaf ears that hear the most delicate


of laughs and most innocent


of conversations and turn them
into plays on Broadway

stage lights burn eyes

heavy yellowy, dust-circling glare


shadow that follows me


to the corner store and back
home

alone, silence and cacophony

suffocate memories in dog-eared photos


from the day warmth became cold


and cold froze to glass

no monkey-grins or ponytails,
just pale eyes and deaf ears
