Question Shame eyes overted sudden noise Buzzing in the back of the brain The hook is left hanging submerged in the water Fogging the thoughts until they disappear Words ran away at a thought of being spoken Thoughts those complex layers of Experience feelings impulses values So much insight and potential Running out the door Atom by atom splitting hanging in the air above Spoken sounds are escaping the tongue Oh what a torture to be at a mercy of Limitations Unknowing and lost in the bubble with only self And the gaping hole of loneliness And everything unsaid Through acceptance i find my way To only that within the grasp The truth begging to be said When in no doubt Or finding dignified peace in silence

Embracing silence
There’s a girl I know on Mars Who wears tube socks With everything she wears, No matter if they’re stretched out or not. There, the wind barely blows, It barely even whistles. But she doesn’t like her feet To get cold. Every time we talk, We talk about everything And nothing. She sits at home and watches The stars from her window, Swinging one of her legs From the arm of the couch. I told her that I’d mail her a new Pair of socks if I could find A pair with Mars on them, And a pair that had the moon Printed on them. Especially that far out, I bet they’re Hard to find. Maybe I’d settle for a pair myself, To see what she sees in these things, After all, she always wears them. Maybe I’ll get her a pair that stretches To her knees, A solid color to match her couch, To hide the red dirt that creeps In her house. After all, we’re human. We need something that connects us To who we are, who we used to be. Anything to make us feel More important than what we are
