#289 silence
it\u2019s all standing still\nbehind the house\ntrees silent and motionless\nthe white sky mirrors the\nground and recedes into\nrailway dreams of escape\n\nunderneath sleepers\nsleep thirty-three\nheartbeats in an hour while\nmine skips and murmurs\nrumors of memory sighs\nof the morning and you\n\nsilence\ni have disturbed you\nforgive me\nsilence\ni don\u2019t understand\n\nmy ears ring and i slow\nmyself wondering how\nmuch longer how many more\ndays i haven\u2019t counted\ni\u2019m afraid to look i know\nyou are getting sleepy\n\nsilence\ni have disturbed you\nforgive me\nsilence\ni don\u2019t understand\n\nepw 2.3.08 perrysburg, oh
