Inside Voices

By Colorain

Disclaimer: I remembered these poems that you are supposed to read in two voices and thought that would be such a cool thing to do for Mutant X. Though I never say who they are, it ought to be easy to tell. Assuming this formats correctly, the left is Adam, the right is Eckhart. I don't own these characters.

Instructions on how to read this poem aloud: The speaker who has taken the left side starts first. Whenever there is a space between his line, he stops, and the second speaker says his line. It's pretty immediate. When both sides have a line at the same time, they both start simultaneously. Confused? E-mail me, I'll explain better.

The cries of my children are

haunting

Taunting

Killing

Thrilling in my ears

Burning

Burning

Burning through my ears

Falling

Calling

Falling far away

They wish for me

They ask for thee

And do I grant them last request?

I take that right away

You've got no right to

The cries of his children are

Thrilling

Killing

Killing in his ears Killing in my ears
