Our writing exercise this morning consisted of using an object from a collection given to us to craft a character in a scene. My object was a small crystal paperweight, with multiple surfaces, giving a prismatic effect when viewed through, seeing multiple presentations of the viewed object.So many voices, indistinguishable at first riseBy breakfast, a choir, not quite in unisonSings discordantly.Its chorus coalesces to a chant,cracks crescendo inside her skull,Her breathing beats the rhythm of its rant.Rolling, rocking,Lashing, bashing,Back and forth, untilexhausted she slumps,cradled in her mother’s armsand cries herself to peace.© Sheila Ash, 2017ashramblings
