Notes About The Poem

July 4, 2023

In a Silent Way

The titular template of loneliness,
the spaced out unbeating ethereal melody,
the dreamy quiet beginning energized
in the million steps you walk,
setting free the agonized heart
that quivers like the wilderness willow.
The outline of the unyielding essence
repudiates the catharsis reprisal,
you find a place at the edge of time,
and sense the sound of silence.

All the dreams blaze in an inferno,
you breathe the ashes of smoky memory,
whisper hollow words to the amorphous air,
for you’ve nothing more to say,
and silently float in the empty sky.
The space between the slices of soul,
where the frail feelings get frozen,
the lattice of desolation is configured
by the splinters of shapeless images of desire,
as they fly away in a silent way.
