Snapshot Insanity
Clipped hedges by
asylum dock
brood for sky
the sun forgot
where murdered shadows
lie to rot
unwind their ancient
awful clock
screaming ghosts'
electric shock
dream what is real
and what was not
inkblot visions
gone to pot
tying crazies
in a knot
graffiti for
the 'mad'

You embodied the lunacy in the walls, the image the words - that was brilliant. The 'electric shock' line literally made me cringe. It was a pleasure to read. Truly wicked.

A disturbed friend of mine once consented to electro convulsive therapy and his memory was never the same again.
It's estimated that one million people worldwide are still given ECT treatment every year (500 of them in Ireland of all places).
I can only imagine how it must feel.
Appreciate your feedback.
