i’m getting better
with silence
not the quiet
but the lack
of words
how many words
i’ve regretted
i’ve spoiled
i’ve misunderstood
silence isn’t
golden
it’s shiny lucre
a tainted trickster
acting out its own
mute revenge
silence contains
all possibilities
infinite potential
for whatever
might break
it’s deadly grasp
