To Capture a Scream
October 3, 2022
What a dreaded sunny day!
So I set my soul to imbue
God set the sky ablaze
Maybe Heaven’s burning too
A walk with a familiar stranger
On a bridge everlasting
The sky lit up with swollen anger
And the river dead contrasting
I saw a man whose spirit had flown
Out from his spooked vessel
The fear and dread on his face shown
Twitched and began to wrestle
I laughed, “Ha Ha Ha”
As his face was white as cream
But then I looked at what he saw
And I too began to scream

This is a poem I wrote to accompany the famous painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch. I chose to imagine myself accompanying the man in the painting as if he were an old friend, strolling along the bridge with the illusory sunset as our background. We do not know why the man is screaming, perhaps at something horrific he saw, at a brilliant realization he had, or at his loneliness. That is for you to decide yourself.
