Field Notes on Silence


For L

It’s the temperance of our silence,

ghostly attempts fall into the hollow

when the heart pauses, needs to define,

and desire curls itself up, still

believing it’s the vessel, if it only had a voice.

We slowly morph into faceless dreams,

arch-starved darkness; it’s there

we feed the wildest of our beasts,

and lie with them in quiet

Asylums, sheltered from rays of wind and light.
