Silence Poem
Silence Poem:
Let me scream and rage
rend my clothes,
sob my heart out in pure frustration.
Let my tongue be cleaved to the roof of my mouth
with the wordlessness of my fury and despair.
Let me smash priceless porcelains.
Rip costly canvasses.
Fling myself into the torrenting vortex of the sea
in the thunder storm.
Let me throw all the furniture from an upstairs window
to splintering crunch
and splitting asunder.
Let me bloody my knuckles
punching time on the kitchen cabinets.
If you need me not.
If you want me not.
If you love me not.
If this be so…
Let me dive to bell-depths of the ocean floor deaf to sound.
Let me close myself in a silent sauna of tears.
Let me bury my head in the sand of peacefulness.
Let me become another self, a silent one.
Half bird, half snake, half woman.
To fly the somber skies, shunned by every other creature.
