Escape Into Silence

Escape into silence moving out in still morning across pine needle cushioned trails toward Earth's solitary murmuring river, Whispering from where we have come to quietly slip drift ripple forward into an expanding mouth without inhumane voice Escape into silence, comforting respite Leaving behind human, even humane compassionate stories voices sounds; but not memories fantasies feelings choice These inevitably accompany, friendly and hard lessons blending into muffled landscapes, sea sounds, silent breezes teasing past sense Sensory sexually imprinted colored wordlessly intoned rhythmed patterns harmonic and dissonant silently desexualized Needy quiet traces, tracks footsteps hungry for most anything, everyone But embracing inviting all absorbing silence.
