I was constantly experiencing lethologica — that haunting silence between thought and speech, where meaning exists but refuses to take form. I’ve been dreaming on clarity but choking in hesitation. I’ve been haunted. Not like this. Might I wonder upon a star or will dust be the end of me? I’ve been doubtful — the voice of echoing disdain. If words can be hollow, pious, and true, then mine tremble somewhere in between. A galaxy of half-spoken words spinning in endless orbit. Which of mine survive the silence? Might they find me again — the pieces I left scattered. To heal the echoing wreckage Might they find me again — fragments trembling on the edge of thought. A different kind of silence courses through me. I’ve been haunted. Not like this.
