Helen Is Screaming

Helen is standing in the kitchen

Outside the window, she experiences a bright flash

She is pinned to the wall by a large foam wedge that has appeared in the room

It occupies the space between her pendulous breasts

Her hair, matted and soaked in post-natal perspiration

Like rotting semen

Her lip contorted into a Billy Idol snarl

Helen is screaming into the pillow

Helen is screaming into the pillow
