Silent Sound

Another conversation in the darkness of night
when no words were heard
or even uttered
yet so many questions posed hooking for an answer
between the sunset and starlight
the mind crawls around
yet doesn’t notice a passing thought
with its own intentions
while it searches for a neurological resonance
because it is vital, it is energy
and living is more vital than dreaming of what if’s
and if only’s are discarded with the trash
casually forgotten like a one-night fuck
a thought hungry for dignity
but there is no dignity in making do
a touch without love is nothing much
meaningless moments sating greed
forgotten too easy in the graspings of lust
that built the cage to contain the thought
but it would not be silenced
until the mind dared to listen to that one silent sound
