Poetry:Experiments in Silence
silence. i answer your tight-lipped disapproval with eternal silence as you parallel yourselves in slow-moving rows these few minutes feel eternal and silence
silence.
i answer your tight-lipped disapproval with
eternal
silence
as you parallel yourselves in slow-moving rows these few minutes feel
eternal
and silence
composes my complacency. your thick-skinned composure
eternally
silent
while the assessment continues to
eternity
silently
rests in the seconds between sound when we validate silence and
return to eternity.
