Communication is a pillar
In the foundation
of all of humanity’s relationships
And our house
crashed down before it could
even be a home
I wish
We were still an us
I wish
we were still a them
I wish
we were still a we
For someone
who loves talking.
You’re awfully quiet now.
It is said that silence
is the most perfect expression of
scorn
you
The apple
of my eye
you
The pit
in my stomach
You whom said not a word
and held your tongue
Something
snakes
even refuse to do
So it is in
you holding your tongue
That my questions
are finally answered
