Silence

The things

That I’ve

Always sought

Are the

Things unspoken

Those tiny

Quiet muttering

Perhaps a

Mew or

A sigh

It’s in

Your silence

I know

You best

Trees

Standing in

A forest

Ax in

Hand I

Wonder how

To chop

A tree

Stopping and

Listening I

Realize that

Somethings are

Simple and

Better being

What they

Are rather

Than what

I want

Them to

Be in

My selfish

Little world

GeorgeFloyd II (rip)

We’re born

With ways

Left right

Boy girl

Then we

Learn things

Right wrong

Respect denial

Knowledge ignorance

Then we

Accept things

Love hate

Life death

What we

Don’t get

However is

Brutality power

Disgust cowardice

Those things

Shield us

From ourselves

Because we

Won’t accept

The others

GeorgeFloyd

And there

He pleaded

And his

Tormentors with

Their power

Continued to

Flog and flail

Him and

At their

Hand he

Died have

We not

Yet discovered

The fragility

Of life

And why

Oh why

Must the

Lowly be

Trodden upon

Christ died

For us

Isn’t that

Yet enough

Fluke (to Carlos)

It was

There that

I placed

My hat

And it

Was that

Which caught

My attention

It also

Was an

Error a

Misnomer and

A mirage

A fluke
