Expired Silence
Isn’t it time
we let this silence finish?
Now that the conversation
appears to have diminished.
That used to discourse
has become dissonance
like B and D and F
I’ve run out of ideas and
you’ve run out of patience
and in the quiet that is
the space between our two chairs
the words that we choose
have no relevance
Where does my chair end
and the silence begin?
I like to think about adjectives
used to describe silence
like golden and broken
and uncomfortable.
