# # # The Scream (Inspired By The Famous Painting)
The air is thick with silence
The emptiness deafens
My mouth gasps open
but echoes nothingness
I have reached the edge
The sky is red
I am deaf-mute
This is my lament
I am the forgotten song
on a bridge called
Loneliness

Read somewhere that a volcanic eruption (Krakatoa?) was the reason for the colorful sky. Lovely poem. I have one on this subject as well, 'the scream, explained'. -chuck
