But lost her spine along the hall.
No knocks, no words, just silent calls—
She wiped away the names on walls.

Silence sits—a secret scribe,

A lonely knight in silence strode.
He raised his drink, a golden hue,

Where laid its hand to mark the place
Bade stony pages stand in waiting
To offer up in silent greeting

...The scuffling duo sparred in the park
Their screams and shouts so very marked
A bag was clutched in the woman's hand
A man had grabbed it while he harangued
