27. Screaming in Silence

An empty staircase, bereft of the usual crowd, begs for a sprint.
Sound sleep, bereft of wild dreams, howls for awakening.
Empty glass, bereft of hemlock, beseeches for a refill.
Raging poet, bereft of love, yearns for some.
Lovely woman, bereft of the poet, throbs in pain.

Yet you ask, why do we scream so?
