Your Silence | Sana Rose

our silence is my undoing –
I take the cue to welcome
the loneliness.
I find refuge in
a green bottle of icy water –
my parched soul
soaks it up
to the edge of survival.

Your silence is my nourishment –
I hoarde upon it like
broken timepieces.
I find solace in
the ticks of bygone moments –
my moist skin
irrigates the dryness
to the point of giving up.

Your silence is my veil –
I hide behind it from
my own muteness.
I find invisibility in
the uncouth pleats of the cloth –
my sheer deafness
takes a blind eye
to the brazen touch of needs.
