(Pause)

Yes.

It was all in the pause

Everything that wasn’t said,

Everything that was going to be said,

Everything.

A messy universe hidden in a vacuum,

In one big bang a new chaotic reality was born

But before that

There was the pause.

The ‘yes’ that followed the silence

Was nothing more than a cork in a wave

Unable to stop the city of love drowning in violence.

The pause was there before,

The silence was trapped in my throat before,

Within it was all that needed to be said

Released in an explosion

The spark offered by your question

‘Are we alright?’

Boom.

At least, I thought, we’ve erased the silence

The pause is over.

Kicking the debris with your toe

You said ‘I wish you’d tried’
