Thought Mutation

The stut of dry silence

And drear must of boredom

Cover the room

In cancerous echoes.

 

Outside darkness

Pours thick on the window

With rolly smoke thinning

Evaporating.

 

Then a thought breaks

From the chains of my skull

Leaps into form

A beast alive.

 

Huffed lungs in the corner

I cannot move

It is bigger than me.

Independent.

 

I barely recognize it

As my creation

It eats the future

Of the room

Then escapes the moment

 

And I am not sure

If I will ever think

Again.

Wow, mate, one of your best; it is terrific! 'Must' is dry and 'mould' is damp, isn't it? And 'must' does relate to 'dry silence'. Still - a thought - since the 'long o' sound picks up both 'boredom' and 'echoes' and runs through the whole poem. I only mention this, since I didn't immediately get 'must'; but it only took a moment to realize, and it is a great word.
