Silence
An air conditioner cooling,
a clock ticking,
a reflection in the mirror.
The color gray, a chill breeze,
crickets chirping on a hot
Summer's night.
A movie in slow motion,
two deaf people communicating,
a college library before finals.
A smile, a frown, the middle finger,
waiting for the principal,
a fire on a cold Winter's night.
Pops on a record before the song,
a snake in the grass gazing
at prey.
Sadness, despair, guilt,
a lie,
death,
complete stillness.
Silence.
a clock ticking,
a reflection in the mirror.
The color gray, a chill breeze,
crickets chirping on a hot
Summer's night.
A movie in slow motion,
two deaf people communicating,
a college library before finals.
A smile, a frown, the middle finger,
waiting for the principal,
a fire on a cold Winter's night.
Pops on a record before the song,
a snake in the grass gazing
at prey.
Sadness, despair, guilt,
a lie,
death,
complete stillness.
Silence.
