"Sore Throat"

DESCRIPTION: It's unspeakable.

unspoken words burn the pharynx.
a repressed lie begins to spread and infect a public faculty.
the man's credits are about to roll as civilians raise their white flags.
their smiles run free on the wind, and unspoken words burn the pharynx.

a dreamscape of infinite colours.
bright, limitless colours. they stretch across an unknowable land.
i wonder why it's unknowable.
perhaps because it's not real.

a man closes his eyes and presumes a gray world hidden behind.
unspoken words burn the pharynx.

and i start to choke on them.
yes! unspoken words, are you confused yet?
in a frantic panic, i am ensnared and placated by your soothing honey
although regardless of your efforts, i will still die

because it's not science
this is real life
you raised the white flag, and so he will pay the price.

and so, my unspoken words burn my pharynx
