Loud

Loud

First.
I unlocked my lips
Parted them like the Red Sea
Packed my lungs with air
Exhaled in screams

You fiddled with the radio.

Second.
I fastened my eyes
Squeezed them against my brow
Drew out bitter brine
Spilled it on my face

You stared at the television.

Finally.
I clutched my blade
Slid it over my forearm
Purged scarlet water
Poured it down your sink

You saw me.

Must I always be so loud?
