I, Myself

Endless nights of sound and fury,
Clawing the nerves of my spine-
Stopping briefly to compress my breast,
And bone, and sinew.
Eyes wide open, glazed with voices.
A shivering creeps to the four winds
Propelled by the breath of my lungs,
of my body, of my soul.
A mad light fills my mouth; overflowing.
A grim smile splits my lips and my face
Tears through the lie
And reveals the feral beast in its natural habitat.
