of noise

I was recently chatting with my friend Simon on Guernsey Island. I challenged him to write a poem about Guernsey and he challenged me to right a poem about noise. Here is the poem about noise.

Of noise

you wrap yourself around me and come into me
into my head like a lover into his loveor
like a rapist into the victim or like even the ...honey I have a headache voices and hums the street the cars honk the ugly words of hate and criticism myselfandothers the rain pattering shushing sursurring softly against the
pavements or words better i love you, you are special, be easy,
i'm hear, you are loved, lovely...so lovely, joy!music...ethereal lovely, earthy heavy, solid, jubilant or all
else!
my ear
the portal to what may be procreated in my brain
the womb of the ear is the mind ,you know, except in reverse
Within the ideas formed from the noise the embryonic explode to
life...lover, rapist, or the indifferent spouse. embraced,
fought, or set aside to filter and drift through the mind to
settle with a sigh into obscure-oncethoughtness to gleam
embraced by the lover enthroned in the seat of the heart to lay
glimmering like a treasure of great price or to be rattled
around like a knife or club in the mind and heart feeling beaten to death like the
rapist power, control, dirty...got you now we have you you can't
escape .....but I can..it's my mind

Silence.
