Nov 2024
Cruel is the Silence
Cruel is the silence after.
the love goes.
The nights when the
breeze
freezes and the frogs
lose their croak.
Silence like the stillness
of a child's bare footed
climb into our bed.
Midnight is the silence
after the rain goes.
I touch the silence with
my mind. I map the
road to a
tomorrow I don't want,
never asked for.
The place is quiet.
There was a stop
a ways back.
You left me by the Willow.
I couldn't call your name
You left me by the sand dune.
and when I looked back
you never saw me
again.
