silence
the connection is cut
by the jagged blade of our words
letters become painful to spell out
and resentment takes place within the
nethermost caverns of our thrashing hearts
each individual minute
bids us the offer of absolution and conclusion
but the doggedness and the inflexibility
of our understanding of one another
ultimately vaporize the framework of perception
that we have labored so earnestly on
enviousness is the motive that segregates us
from the treasure of intimacy
that is strictly confidential
and experienced by not one other creature
maybe if we allotted an opening
of space to just negotiate
and discuss this mutilated thing called love,
we would grant permission to this idea
a marvelous, distinguished, valuable idea
an idea called:
communication
