the ass-end of space

What then
when words fail?

Were you a lover
a touch or gaze
would be enough
for you to understand

Were you an enemy
I'd pound the message
on your skull like morse
until the point sunk in

But you are neither
and words have failed
What then?

Silence..

Cya

Strange...

it is so quiet
as I read this...
silence all around me...

yet,

I heard you.

Sometimes it's time for silence. Words, upon words, upon words said into air, are unheard. The silence then speaks....

I think I know you better than that.

You are too stubborn to give up so easily. (like me! )

Hugs Raph. We are still in the shadow of the retrograde renagade mercury....

next week will be just groovy!

Raph:

you know we just discussed this in my H/R course yesterday - how without words - we fail to communicate - even through universal gestures - but here - it is impossible to get through sometimes by typing . . . even in person sometimes too
I know this well I do and you have accurately described the entire net to me in your lines above - is what it means to me anyhow

Amazing as always Raph
and ummm . . . your not goin anywhere MR uh huh  nope
xxoo

There really is no success like failure.

Well written.  Thank you for sharing it.
