Silent Screams (Monotetra Poem) Poem by Chris Embrick

Collapsing naked, flashback dreams
My crimson blood flowing downstream
Replaying now the final scene
My silent screams, my silent screams.

Primeval instincts, footfalls near
Why I'm the prey is still unclear
My heart exploding in my ears
The sound of fear, the sound of fear.

Exhausted gasping out of breath
No place that's safe, no place to rest
The killer's stench, no last request
The smell of death, the smell of death.

Behind me footfalls crunch the snow
The nightmare ends, my death is slow
My last vision before the blow
The circling crows, the circling crows.
