silence spreads

once I grow too tired to speak, everyone becomes silent 

silent as a butterfly 

retrace their steps 

they shouldn't disturb me as I sleep 

for they have left me, as slow as a butterfly leaving its cocoon, 

watch, 

watch your every step, 

because I am wary, 

I watch, in the silence

for a sign 

yet no sign will show, 

they are too careful, 

their feet levitate, 

above me, they swim 

like dolphins, 

bathed in caution, 

for they do not wish to wake me, 

because 

they simply,

do not want me
