At Zelda's - missed first exerfcise, busy ripping hole in the living room wall for the satellite cable. It was to write a five stanza poem, with one for each of the five senses.

exercise 2: wordlist, on the theme: music
/guitar /emotion treble harmony pitch melody comfort /catharsis visions dance /tension /colors /sharp /crescendo /voice
seeking catharsis of sharp emotion
voice rises in a sharp SCREAM
let it out through the throat
instead of taking up a sharp blade
to let it out through the skin
tension builds like tightening a guitar string
until something must either snap or be cut
the noise reaches a crescendo
the colors become like stones thrown into the eye
too much for one body to bear
so she opens her body
tearing open a container
