Dénouement

Like air from your lungs
Your breath streamed out in a river
A multitude
A torrent

A flood of words we couldn’t speak

    I have no idea what the title means…. Probably cos I didn’t finish high school. But the writing is great… I think i’ve felt this before! Nice one Imogene.

  • Thanks Krisso
    a denouement is a French term meaning “unraveling” or “unknotting”, mainly used in literature for the winding down of a story after (or with) the climax XD
    oh look, english has taught me something

    a flood of thoughts unspoken
    a chord of silence broken
    torrential fears awoken
    am i lost or found?
    i can only hope not to fall asleep.

    maybe “torrential fears in me awoken” makes the thing sound better. you tell me.
