SILENCE
All those places
where I recall
the memories that grip me
and pin me down.
I go to these places
pretending to think
I can think of nothing,
but anticipate
that youll
find me there.
That by some miracle
youd be aware.
Id risen
this morning
determined to break
the spell of my longing,
and not to think.
I freed myself from my family,
I freed myself from work,
I freed myself,
and remained alone...
and in my thinking
steal you away.
Though you never
wanted me anyway.
SILENCE
