The Possibility of Silence
Like the palpitating pains of birth
The sound quickens
Hear bombs crash
Jets rumble
A village shrieks
Like breaking the sound barrier
The noise deafens
A child's cry
Death rattles
Like the meteor showers of summer
Listen to razzmatazz-jazz
The wind wisps
The seas flux
Like a full moon during a Jewish holy day
The sound quells
Deer in carlight gaze
Dandelion feathers drift
Like the expanding cosmos
The hush inside
A bubble rends in the breeze
The birthmark no one sees
An embryo
Nebula
Sun-star
Planets
Moons
Atoms
The possibility of silence to follow
