Silence

The radio silence transmits

a signal more powerful than a scream

transits from together to dark hollow spaces

like waking from a dreadful frightening dream.

Creep about all day, stoned at night

inner spaces define Empty and Void

Humid, Quiet, Dull, Heavy thud past

Cold Comfort, Wet Blanket. Devoid

of hearty hearths, of feelings told.

Grounded flights, caged bird singing

of better, uncertain warmer places

a lone, empty, solitary swing swinging.

A sometime text, a little tenderness,

live in memories of the spring.
