[Reblog] The Quiet — Outrageously Erratic

A relatable piece from Aaysid, who captures some all-too-familiar feelings in a minimalist, piercing way.

I can hear the noise as it creeps ever so slightly into spaces left vacant by the absurd everyday quiet; my thoughts weigh me down at times, and it makes no sense to sleep with a mind this broken, with the eyes wide open… I silently make peace with the noise. ©Aaysid

The Quiet — Outrageously Erratic

Published by Michael Raven

Michael Raven has been murdering innocent words since some time in primary school and hasn’t had the decency to stop after he was first published in second grade. During the mid-90s, he was the emcee at a spoken word/open mic salon, "Sweet Immolation", in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. He is deeply interested in the Old Ways and in shamanic tradition. || Watch for Michael’s upcoming chapbook of poetry, "galdr: thought and memory", published by Raw Earth Ink, due out in early 2022.
