A silence that tastes like cold showers and the ever growing kudzu

Silence washes over tsunamis, monsoons, hurricanes, whirlpools, and lazy lagoons; waterfalls, rivers, nameless oceans and named alike

Silence washes over tsunamis, monsoons, hurricanes, whirlpools, and lazy lagoons; waterfalls, rivers, nameless oceans and named alike

Silence washes over elk and foxes, over the rabid and the prey, over the jaguars and elephants, the hare and the tortoise and all the creatures that scream for him to run

Silence washes over the swift pollination of bees and flowers, and the sweet nectar of humming birds; the leaves of ancient trees and the winged beasts who live within them

Silence washes over the surface layer of earth
amongst cities and towns,
within the cars and houses,
the recreations and educations;
over all the beings who dared to breathe

Silence used to only take over the Night
The heiress of night.
but greed is ambition;
wanton desire and need.
she the devourer

—Silence—
