Swarming: bees above a skylight. Breath forming: a child asleep in fading light. Innuendo: eyes when a kiss ends. Before crescendo: the audience as the curtain descends. Age: a handwritten journal from a wandering liar. Exhausted rage: Slauson Avenue after the Rodney King fire. Utility: a brown wooden desk with empty drawers. Apostrophe: an oration delivered near crashing shores. A life destroyed: an Olympia typewriter covered since 1975. The void: a poem read aloud, addressee not alive.

Some Varieties of Silence
Swarming: bees above a skylight. Breath forming: a child asleep in fading light. Innuendo: eyes when a kiss ends. Before crescendo: the audience as the curtain descends. Age: a handwritten journal from a wandering liar. Exhausted rage: Slauson Avenue after the Rodney King fire. Utility: a brown wooden desk with empty drawers. Apostrophe: an oration delivered near crashing shores. A life destroyed: an Olympia typewriter covered since 1975. The void: a poem read aloud, addressee not alive.
