For Want Of Better Words

No sooner had I put foot to ground

in a land where I was a stranger to all,

Did I pray for an audience with

the pain of my wanderings.

The complexing solitude of those

wordless lifetimes that we

transgressed together in that room.

Alive to me like an old movie reel.

...Spinning.....

...Spinning.....

An allergy to ourselves we were,

an allergy to ourselves.

Sunlight's innocent compassion,

spoke as little as it always had

that morning.

Though doubtful I confess to being

that it could have said anything

if given voice or better.

It stared as dejectedly at our

love scorched faces as we had.

A library of the most intelligent

and intricate possibilities

stretched out before me,

with no way of salvage seeming

any more plausible than another.

It is said that, in the

very backgrounds of silence

are we most adept in our listening's

and so it was true here,

but nothing could be said.

For want of better words.
