Separate and A Part

Silent, vociferous plea muzzled fearfully.
Do you know it?
Its icy demands clothe bitterness seductively.
Have you known it?
So dense its contained eruption oozes.
Is it a tenacious animal that cannot be laid to rest?
Its heavy dampness scorches.
Is it one’s self most elemental?
So cold it burns.
In slumber does it weaken or strengthen?
Parasitic, its suffocating confinement drains and prods.
Would its release birth liberating hope?
Uncompromising desire that offers no treaty,
Is it fatally consuming or a depletion that sustains?
Muffled needlessly, for surrounding closed ears are we.
Do you know it?
