Silence

Medicant!
Smooth velvet drapes
on a silken skin
Soothing evening operas;
tonic to thirsty tongues.

Tranquil!
Calm as sea breeze
Soporific lullaby sung 
from the
lips of unseen spirits
Drapes of solitude
Cooing
Whispers of words.

Surreal!
Enternity-still nights in
silent neighborhoods
Coy coiling coils
Seeping stillness
  Silence!
