salty silence

dejectedly I harden into

a masked myself with

rockhard facade, sharply cruel

with slicing eyebrows and

bludgeoning nose and

sucking eyes, I could

swallow you and your brother

whole.

she, oblivious, plows through

my silence, sets sail on it —

crusty barnacles stonily set themselves

on her hull

my winds, silent, wish to

rip to shreds her sails but

they only encourage waves and

endless waves of words,

fruitless futile useless words,

building upon themselves, millions

piling up into one great hollow tide.

it splashes over me,

my rocky face.

I look to the darting sparrows for patience.

I wake up new again, somehow,

seas calmed.
