I can see silence.
She stares at me
without eyes.

I can smell silence.
Apples cooking
underwater.

I can taste silence.
Whispered stones
among shallows.

I can touch silence.
Pressing plastic
keys of type.

I can hear silence.

She said burn ... together.

Squirrel dude,
This is a wondrous piece. But, You're takin' that silence thing a little far. More o' the raucus rodent please.

BTW, When I hit the reply button, in just a moment, I'll be kicked to the "old" server.

I've only been able to access the "new" late this AM, then not at all till just now.

We'll see, Hopin' this ain't a goodbye

Yes, this was a little muted of me, wranx. I was not in happy spirits while writing it. Feeling better now.

And the server, since changing, still kicks people off now and again. It has to do with ISPs. Ron knows more about it than I do. Feel free to drop him a message in Bug Swatter, and he can give you a much more technical, and correct, reply.

Hmm, well this is more like it, in a response to yr own challenge... But Mr. Mope has reared his dreary li'l head again.  

*kiss* Be happy. Fr me? Fr you? Fr cool music and cool memories and cool futures. And fr the fact that I will be regaling you with rants about Billy Idol performing live in the Mac Hall as soon as I get home on Wednesday.  

Still wish you could go with me to that...

Love y' muchly. Sad, gone poetry and all.

loved the metaphor in the open one
but this...
yes .....this is the taste of silence
as only you can conjure
sorry it was baggaged with badness

Mikey, I like it. *grins* A very piercing, dark piece. Sorry I don't have more then that - I usually don't post short ones like this. Hopefully more next time.

Sincerely,
Titus
