Loop Poem by Melanie Emikohe

Something rabid is being spewed
But I got too involved, untangling a loop
A bad habit, not keeping it tidy
I've been tracking its rebellious ways.

How ironic that such Silence
Pumped it up, quite agitated
But half of my senses are dulled
Tenaciously wanting to untangle the loop.

A fire can only have enough woods to spare
For I heard nothing, nothing more-
Within this Silence, I hear her loudly
Brooding, sulking, scheming!
