Shhhhh. (2005)

My sadness inside is quiet.
She is bound and gagged.
Her every move whispers,
Echoes in this cavernous hall.
These soft rustles are all that stand
between emptiness and myself.
And being filled, in the end
is an illusion, a momentary settling
before the current flows onwards,
a brief struggle to be both vessel and fluid.
One must remember
the only ever after
is a hole in the ground.
Yet one is not alone in this solitude, look around.
Great people, fine people, finer than I will ever be
Suffer the same bleak empty chambers, silent mornings,
encrusted wounds and deconstructed desires.
If only switching identities were as easy as switching
tenses or syntaxes.
Thoughts on change.
