Cracks

Finding the strength

to push yourself

to the point of sha ttering
night after night

dark rooms
that reek of sweat

and   alcohol

amplifiers   doing
         what   their
name implies

howl ing    writh ing

hands     gripping

slashing    pounding
night after
                 night
wondering
how long
                can it
go on

before the first

                         crack
forms in the

                   glass
