first
cannibal
after november
blind
to not be numb
dream (four times)
forgetfulness
angel
first morning
laconic
drown
deep
maidenhead
milk
this
wake
dark blue
rotten scorpio
little v. flea
from me to you
exit
dry
the lines left behind
guilty
sever desire
falling slowly
esperando
dark spiral
sparkle
confetti
bodies pound beats
laconic

In silence,
I hear the scratching of pen
I know words form within
but don't emerge;
his mouth is still.

In absence
darkness falls;
the words that died
within his barren throat
erupt, torrential:
Beautiful honest blades
of ink
which need the paper's pulpy strength
to find the wave
to ride upon his tongue.

And so the silence breaks,
the blades slash silence into ribbons
And these he wraps around me
gently, boldly,
his words of love
the sweetest warm embrace;
I think I'll linger here,
within this silence.
