THE DEAF AND DUMB
web | Bravado
In their souls, quietness reigns as in a church.
Only the echo of the heart
is indicating - the marathoner lingers
still behind. Those partners
sniff each other from a mile,
like sailors on the sea.
Actors out of necessity.
The magic of the words
doesn't penetrate their hearing.
I wonder where their silence soaks in?
So many unspoken words
and just as many never heard...
People alive...
walking monuments
of the unborn word.
