What We Do Not Say

So like dreadful ebony sacks of bones, Tethered and harnessed we are with memories Grim and Gay both… Desperate to cut away trappings Just as determined not to forget Our loads melded together with a single fraying seam From constant pulling for opposing purpose We cling to hope that is a dry as the dusty bones in the sacks Revealed in all that we do not say.
