listening to this:
six ten word lines ending in “silence”
*
Nothing to be said at the endings, save the silence
Lights I strung along the edges, our dreams, now silence
Christmas past, once wrapped around each other’s glow, present silence
He expected me to understand his quiet solitude, always silence
We silently slipped from marriage, it was always my silence
Years I felt like speaking, never listened to, only silence
trial run on the lines — back later!
