We didn't say a word to each other
In the parked car
And for the first time in years
there was no tension in the silence
No, not bad
Neither of us mad
Neither of us constipated with words
No concerns
Peace
Peace even though you hurt me
Even though I hurt you
Recovered
Darling we hurt in silence
in the cracks of empty sound
Darling we heal in silence
The absence of pain is loud
Soft quintessence
Driving into the sunset
As if we just might hit it
I close my eyes
so safe that I could sleep
Moments
I'm only in one at a time
And I nest so deeply in each
that the past is
Erased
