spaces






spaces             between                                   quiet


So many feelings fit between two heartbeats…

                                                Zbigniew Herbert

Radio silence is sitting deep
in a hole and listening is not even
wanting or needing to
blink is open eyed is tongue-tied
is one lip above
the other lip is pressed to the teeth
like kissing
is groaning
hard
is all in the lung in one cough
is you, foe you, who grope
inside flies and holes and throw
the scream

back down my throat
