after a while there was nothing but noise and flame - the kind of noise you'd think impossible, insufferable, consuming. my head and my heart and my mind and my throat were so full of noise. i thought that it was over, that i'd turned into noise and flame myself. after a while, the flames went away but the noise remained. the embers still burned bright, the smoke still stung my eyes, the smell of sulfur still hung in the air like images, like memories. important, but unclear. insight comes in funny ways. after a time, it became impossible to think i'd make it out of this alive. i had to be somewhere while i waited, somewhere dark and hard to find. so i wait, and i hide. after a while, it all went away, but this crippling sense of frustration remained. the embers still burned bright, the smoke still stung my eyes, the smell of sulfur still hung in the air, attention: deflected. everything became clear like ghosts, like rain, like fear, like waves.
