Silence gives me words to write,
Exploring its hollow voice,
its impalpable implications.
My voice, jarring to my ears
In the midst of stillness
That mocks at me,
Leaves me mystified
baffled
confounded
Deepens my embitterment
confusion
unease
A word could speak several things.
Silence speaks uncountables,
unmentionables,
Drowning the sea of words
With its deafening turmoil.
(Written around 1996-97)
