Description she screams

deafening conversations of millions
footsteps and wine glasses of the smart and the dull,
clinking. clinking. laughter.

life
goes
on

she screams

blankets pulled up to comforting warmth
smiles and dreams of the abandoned and the blessed,
whisper. whisper. peace.

life
goes
on

she screams

a hand covers the delicate slopes of her lips
cries and pleasure of the chosen and the thief,
echoes. echoes. silence.

life
goes
on

Oh, this is haunting, and so, so brilliant. Great use of pattern and repetition, in particular. Absolute favourite? "a hand covers the delicate slopes of her lips
cries and pleasure of the chosen and the thief,
echoes. echoes. silence."

Seriously. Brilliant.

Yes, I thought as much. It's the perfect example of show, don't tell. I don't understand why writing like this doesn't get more attention.
