it never occurred to me
if silence gets bored of itself.
Perhaps it wants me to
communicate with it within its own being.
Perhaps it wants me to
stay close to it and not shut myself.
Perhaps it wants me to
sing it a sweet lullaby.
Perhaps it wants me to
romanticise our relationship.
Perhaps it wants me to
personify it as a beloved.
I never thought of looking at
this from her perspective.
