091712 when I went silent

You knew me

once, the once- 

I. I 

knew her

too - 

her two eyes charged with

violent sunlight

were mine. I remember violence. I remember

breaking

lines but now I shatter words -

I cling to thoughts wrung out I try to

climb the rungs up, out

I try to shout, but the hand slips. 

I'm a tongue tripping up, I watch

the motion of lips

gibbergabbering. 

My ears are

old. My fingerprint

decays. I delay. 

I've got nothing left to say.
