this is the loudest of all your silences
and to allow you to thrive and thieve
the moment from beginning to end
is a tremendous task.
to let you pullulate from the first letter
up until the (exalted) last, to permit
you to brood and intrude like a stranger
abounding the train at midnight and
a shadow alight in the next, aching stop,
to watch you move and regret your
motionlessness as i hunt for a trace
of movements in the last room that
you have been in and to desire you
still in the following room
only to find that the voicelessness
in all of the world is the loudest
of all the silences.
