My attention is distracted by an uninvited crash.
My eyes blur with it.
The sound flashes in my mind.
My senses are confused as a heavy darkening thud casts a shadow over my enterprise.
My concentration is broken as all I know falls into disarray.
The clatter of life—the rowdy turmoil of being—strains against another blinding sound;
The noiselessness of death, the dark quietness of non-being.
