The Big NO

Impaled upon the stick that was her body She lay gasping in the aftermath Wailing sirens filled the air with their screams She bled internally to a place where dreams die Sounds came in on her like overpowering waves Drowning her with their salty spray She hungered for oblivion A darkness embraced her She said NO

I like this - mysterious and urgent and visceral. The aftermath of what? Is it rape or her own death to whcih she says NO? I like an enigma like this.

A bit melodramatic, but also a bit intriguing. where dreams go to die is a bit much but better overall.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Why do you think it is crap ? Define crap. I would be interested in anything constructive you have to say.
