Between Silence and Word
Caught up, dragged, pulled,
Between silence and word.
Now a loser, next a winner,
Now a winner, next a loser.
Beyond the shields,
Beneath the welds,
Tossing, catching, musing,
What is said, what is unsaid.
Above the prick,
Below the trick,
Trying, thinking, guessing,
What is fair, what is unfair.
Over the pride,
Across the stride,
Sliding, gliding, toiling,
What is heard, what is unheard.
From layers of strain,
To veneer of restraint,
Fighting, yielding, throwing,
What is seen, what is unseen.
Tugged, torn, ripped,
Between silence and word.
Now a winner, next a loser,
Now a loser, next a winner.
