I feel like a mute on fire.
SOOOoooooooo much rage blazes through my veins now. What tah’ do when smashed against a concrete pillar by source unclear? I clench my jaw until teeth crack and press my lips against each other until they go white with yellow and sit motionless in the silent ambience of this room scouring for paintings that rage without shame …
My voice has been raped of sound and I swallow anger in golf-ball sized gulps that hurt going down.
