When Silence Falls

So dark you can’t
text your own hand
in front of your face

Will you remember
how to use
your silence
as power?

Freedom to speak
is the same as
freedom of silence

The negative spaces
amplify meaning
and purpose

So use everything
in it’s time and place

including the deafening
violence of silence

Rushing over
the roaring demands

filling everything
with meaningful
emptiness

powering the
extinction burst
of our enemies
