Picture the sound of a thousand colonies
abandoned by bees
battlefields when cannons cease
the ever after rest in peace
of the deceased
unearthly quiet
imagine the sound of dialogue
intoning on deaf ears - not dumb adage
but muted gasps of language
white noise and a pulsing lub-dub
of internal baggage
deathly quiet
sotto voce I commend
hushed tones, fortissimo pedal dampened
stillness of thought - but pray leave silence til the end
