Sometimes there is no way out.

“Not now, not ever” she screamed.

I heard her from across the garden.
“It’s all just a dream”
I quietly replied, “Your nearly home”.

“....no”.

I heard it in her voice. (I saw it in her eyes).
Her mind began to remember things she had tried to forget.

“Make some noise, fill the space. I don’t want to hear this silence.
Not now, not ever” she screamed.

I heard her from across the garden.

I heard her from across the garden.
''It's all just a dream'' i quietly replied, "you're almost home"

''Not now, not ever'' she screamed

I REMAIN

Shit art for shit times

Do as the woman says

START. STOP. REPEAT
