Names of Silence
Who knew,
that Silence
had so many names?
Frame knows –
“absentees of
4th grade picture day”
Wind knows --
“Owl muted by
The mountain’s snore”
Forest knows –
“Leaves cushoning
the hunting paw”
Midnight knows –
“nothingness after the
Express has passed”
Bed knows --
“Back -- tearful
Trembling and arched”
Mirror knows --
“Lip pressings left
Unmisted.”
Earth knows --
“Every spring’s
slow unwinding”
