Silence
There’s a viciousness in silence
It can lead the mind to overact
Plump it up with
Toxic imaginings
Embroider it with after shocks
Starve it of its’ fluids
Ungentle it with a cold rip
Don’t offer your quiet
When they have asked you for sound
Or text or image or touch
Lull that thunderous blow
It will only take a moment
To move the sharpness of it
Into a soft humid still
Be generous
All of those who surround you
Are calling for it.
