Dissociative Discordance

And for a moment,
right before the fall into my ruin,
all I heard was the piercing silence;
complete and all-consuming

And for a moment,
right before the big undoing,
ensconced in time,
a single frame of violence;
a still beauty so deluding

And for a moment,
right before the skewing,
there was the sound of sirens;
and then I felt as something
started chewing
