Incoherence – dVerse Poetics
Here’s my submission to the dVerse Poetics prompt – this week, we are asked to write something inspired by ‘peace’, since yesterday was the International Day of Peace.
As ever, my creativity strikes at the most inconvenient of times – last night it was just when I was about to go to bed!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my piece below – please do visit the linky link thing to read many more!

– Incoherence –
There is no silence inside my head
It’s filled with the voices of the dead
the lost, the unloved, the slipped through the cracks
There is no silence inside my head
The voices linger inside my head
They keen and whisper of long-held dread
that tears, that corrodes, that rips them apart
There is no silence inside my head
The people crowd inside my head
They shriek whilst they are ripped into shreds
for power, for might, for strength over all
There is no silence in my head
There is no silence inside my head
Illusion’s immunity, them in our stead
for now at least, but time plays tricks well
No peace, no silence, no rest ’til your dead.

– Revival –
“This is how it used to look. Before they ripped its heart out.”
I take the picture from him, one that he keeps in his wallet next to a photo of his wife and daughter.
It’s a cutting from a magazine, the paper soft with age – I hold it as if caressing a butterfly. He is in tears; men are not afraid to show their pain here. Life has been too hard to pretend otherwise.
I stare up at the bones of the building, black against the blood red of the setting sun.
“We will rebuild your museum, I promise.”
His smile is radiant.
