Silence
--Silence is so accurate (Mark
Rothko)
Silence is so inaccurate.
It is the sense of absence
when someone is gone.
It is the ellipsis at the end of the
story…
It is not the comma, but the period.
It is the break at the end of the
end-stopped line.
It fills the spaces between the
fingers and toes.
It is the hesitation before you
choose:
the interior sigh whenever you lose.
The empty room after the door closes;
It is the blank page, the white
space.
It is what remains unsaid.
