Speaking silence/ dead silence/ broken silence/ my silence/ singing silence/ bleeding silence/ lost silence/ Silence the mother tongue/ the primordial silence/ Her eyes flash, her words lead, her face flashed with life. But sometimes she is taken over by something that have no lasting sound. Sometimes there are pressures, that is, that is poison. Restlessness and impatience. My censoring ego wishes to forget, it ever saw the room/ever saw the corpses. I have been trying all I know. I shine light so I can see the shadows. But the shadows grow even darker. And bones, those represent that which can never be destroyed. Silence is mystery not telling or not knowing? Silence involves resistance, tension and opposition. Silence is a right a strategic exercise of power, or a resistance to it/ The protest is the first art, is the twin sister of its twin sister dance. Silence is a common experience. a closed door carefully locked a communicative act in a threatening situation. silence is a haven enjoy it build it insulate it secure it yearn for it fall asleep with it fear it abolish it exist for it confront it silence is. silence is not absence or void/ is not absence of speech silence is a part of it. silence is a problem. Silence is not. Silence is gold or so I was told when I was young Silence equals death Silence is the ocean of the unsaid the unspeakable the repressed the erased the unheard a sea of unspoken words But if you have seen time accelerate or fold in a way that distorts the spatial-temporal order altogether, then well that is a start.

one afternoon I said to myself “Why isn’t the joy leaner?” Are you upset by how heavyset it is? Does the joy make you shiver? does it? down, down, down into the darkness of joy, gently it goes. just like an ****** is the joy. one afternoon I said to myself, “why isn’t the playfulness lighter?” does playfulness make you shiver? does it? One afternoon I said to myself “the giggling is not unexcited! the giggling is exceptionally nervous. a giggling is emotional a giggling is a drunk a giggling is on pins and needles however
