SILENCE

SILENCE

 

After she went

When the sympathetic departed

He stood helpless,

Embarrassed in grief,

Clumsy inability

Sprung upon him

Reason told him, pain so bad must end

 

House hummed quietly,

Fuelled with order, oiled with meaning

Stationary, silent now

Dissembled

 

Wounded in every room. Defenceless.

Her glasses on the desk, eyeless

Her straw hat in a shaft of sunlight

Gripped his throat.

Clumsy inability

Sprung upon him

Reason told him pain so bad, must end.

 

House hummed quietly,

Fuelled with order, oiled with meaning

Stationary, silent now

Dissembled

 

But the walls and windows, furniture

And doors, told him it never would.

He was at once aware that

He had known of this awfulness

Waiting for him, all his life.

Non-death, bleeding without dying

Clumsy inability,

Sprung upon him

Reason told him pain so bad must end

 

House hummed quietly,

Fuelled with order, oiled with meaning

Stationary, silent now

Dissembled

House hummed quietly,

Fuelled with order, oiled with meaning

Stationary, silent now

Dissembled

 

 

Facing the worst enemy – Silence.
