“What do you scream?” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

What are you to do

What choices can be made

Throat blinded

Vision raw

No planning for this.

What now that loud shifts louder

Night silhouettes

Blistering regrets

How do you scream when you are already screaming

How does your voice last.

Where is all this coming from

Who do you call

When you drown out your own voice

Irregular noises

Guttural piths

Competitive voices racing to closed doors.

Again and again I ask

How do you scream when you are already screaming

-by Thomas Typewriter

“What self” – a new poem by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

A beautiful thing 

Yes, a beautiful thing

Sits alone on a shelf

Wondering,

Pondering,

What is my true self

When I find 

To my voice, 

To my charms,

All are deaf

-Thomas Typewriter

“A Grammar” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

A small voice struggles

To say words of old

There is much to say

In languages of yesterdays

A grammar of coincidence

A small voice rumbles

To shout words gone cold

Moments make letters

Like snowflakes in winter

A grammar of incidents

-Thomas Typewriter

a new poem: “A Personal Dilemma” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

Fearful of no voice, I shout.

Transgression is the obsession,

bringing the words into play.

I should focus on the positive,

ignoring those things born from doubt.

But then what would I say?

My depths are unknown to me.

Without all of those causatives,

I am quiet. I am without.

A coward.
