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.
