Silence







There’s a world in silence,
like that of a poem
insistent upon a page.

The silence of a dictionary
that flirts with anyone.

The silence of a question
from yesterday’s photograph.

The persuasive silence
of dust in an empty house.

The desperate silence
from a mirror’s truth.

The expressive silence
that could be the voices
of you and me.
