Anechoic Chamber



A quick search on 
Google 
Mashable 
How Things Work 
And Wikipedia 
Informs me 
That there are 
Tiny ancient ghost-spirits 
Hiding in the hollow caverns 
Of falling snow 
That swallow sound 
In a stormy 
Savage 
Hunger

Eating 
Ravenously 
Din 
And noise 
And pitch 
Of traffic 
Birds 
And children’s voices 

Gone were these 

Leaving 
A DEAFENING quiet 
Over the 
Brilliant white landscape

An inch of rain in 32 degree weather 
Equals 10 inches of snow

Drop that temperature
Down into the 20's
And that increases to 15-20 inches

The snow was coming down 
3+ inches per hour

Plenty of room for covetous ghosts 

The only perceived sonance to be heard 
Was the gale of wind 
Past my ears 
The blood gently pumping 
Through my veins 
And spontaneous firings of the auditory nerves 

As the icy prismic ghosts 
Sparkled behind crystal 
Ingesting everything else 
That wasn’t inside me 

At this point 

Clearly outnumbered 

Combat 
Would be a lost 
Noiseless
Dogfight 

Bear arms my friends

Watch out for black ice

The silence 
These spirits bring 
Could cause 
The crazies 
To step out 
From within
