Refugees

too many
have to go
they've been told
but where
they are too many
no place can take them
remaining unmarked

too crowded
have to go
trapped
try to escape
try to be free
silence reigns
wrestling, shrieking
silence
pressure-cooker
volcanic silence
waiting to erupt-
stream refugees

words
too many
too crowded
have to go
but where
who can hear
who will bear
this rush of refugee
words

Needing a release and somewhere to go... whether physical or words.. you've captured the feel of it.
