Saying nothing by saying something

Two times in your life

you will write a lot:

when you have nothing to say

and

when you have,

and have,

and have,

but say nothing.

*

I had a dream

that I did not need

to dream anymore

but then I woke up

and could not remember

where I was

or how I got there

or how, too, I could

leave a space where there was

no beginning I remembered

and no end I knew

until it is right there after

things happened

and

after instances

where I tried to close

my eyes

but could not do so

for the blackness

I saw was just

white flesh

dreaming it were

something else.

*

God perfected perfection

in paradise

and then realized

a different

kind of breath

was missing.
