Silence
I’m standing in the dark.
Shivering.
The wind stops blowing.
It dies.
It falls on its hands and knees and slumps into silence.
I stop.
The dog stops.
And.
All.
There is.
Is silence.
It sounds like failure, like a heart beginning to tear from the inside.
Inside, it stalks me.
It chains me up and watches me try to break free.
I’m half-expecting and try to wash me.
I can bark and try to throw myself away from it, but it never lets go.
In a way, I hope these written words will speak. I hope they’ll burn and shout and cry out.
I hope they’ll cry out.
To break my silence….
I turn to the dog and if we keep going.
Our footsteps.
Are silent.
