that single melody
carries all my sorrows
like fraught nerves
or a snapped piano wire
every misstep, mistake, fall and heartbreak
banging, crashing, reverberating
like an endless echoing thunderous bell
enclosed in my head
shame, hate, envy
twang, clank, shrill and abysmal
like an orchestral horror composition fading into discord
