There are three types of silence:
the first is when there is
nothing to say
and the next is
to say nothing
and both are said here
in the third type
which is writing words
for her
though she’ll never read them
*
Writing’s an attempt
to apologize for not knowing
what to say when
you need to say it
like pulling a knife
and not using it
but instead looking at the point
that reminded you of an edge
of a pen
when you wrote a fight scene
on paper that is cut by
and into you
until something else is,
like the other knife
that lets your material
breathe a little.
It makes for
good writing
but
bad living.
