SILENCE!

 

SILENCE!

Crimson red, gravity falls

Shadows in darkness

Silence! She shouted,

All of darkness went silent.

She had no tears

No mouth, no eyes

No face, no genitals,

But she spoke.

All I wanted was peace

Heaven shattered in pieces

Death, death was fixed

Life had to go on

Seeds had to grow.

Melting white keys

The blacks, tones were burnt

At the valley where silence was born,

Where pregnant hope died,

The coffin walls suffocated her.

She bent over to hear me

Through Her starry dark dress,

I saw the moon

Swept away by the tranquil stream.

This had no voice,

But mouth, eyes

Genitals, face

It had tears.

I had a dream

Of grasping Orion in my fists

Laying on the clouds

Not singing, but

Speaking to God.

The guitar strings made no sound

Worse, it got buried in the sky

Notes, after notes, this man appeared

Bald with silver earings,

And seven facial piercings.

He had death in his eyes,

Carried the guitar to see Malvina

Waiting at the gate with ivy on her shoulder.

He screamed

"Christ! The angels of music tonight

Whisper to me, the sounds of silence."

This again, had no voice,

But mouth, eyes

Genitals, face

It had tears.

MALVINA PATRICK...
