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
