exhalation

 hostile, 
         demanding
words.
then:

Silence.

*

Silence is a space for 

                    wondering
                           in
                       sadness:

Why did you say that to me?

Silence is a space for

                    spinning
                       logic
                     around
                        emotion:

What did you hope to accomplish?
Did you accomplish it?

*

I waited for you to break the silence.

I considered what
I
could say.
    but I don't think you would hear me
    and I don't care what you think.

*

Now I choose silence.

Silence as a space for

resting
          in 
              the
                    release

of what needs to be let go.
