Silence so loud ears covered, muzzling
screams of what stopped in places
so long ago, never to pick up
again.
Bones rubbed wrong for so many years,
the cushion of forgiveness and
empathy worn away forgetting
where it used to belong.
Speak long-distance even up-close
feign a smile, reverberating
pretense, marking its over-
glossed cadence.
Holiday and birthday cards not bought,
dusty words, empty pens no longer
writing of requited love.
Strength's finale, as faded glory days
whisper what's too late to catch,
as last night's vespers answers
to moving on.
