The Ins and Outs of Silence

four vignettes on silence I Muteness broadcasted hush-hush flaunted just like a coverall, silence is a blanket on human telepathy and intent. II It's simple, actions speak as loudly as words. Silent treatment can be an autumn breeze, granting space cooling tempers. III Sulkiness can be likened to green gall, blatant brooding and withdrawal characterized as yellow cowardice, Passive aggressive behavior exposed. IV Cats, life-long friends, co-workers all employ loving acts, yet silence... licking, ankle rubs eye winks, hugs waves and smiles. July 29, 2019
