Owl Days #15

How long can you keep silence quiet?
Like combing the hair of a corpse
There's only so many ways to articulate
The false, to tease it to be true.
The shoe is always waiting to drop,
Breaths escape, the air goes out of the room
And the best laid plans collapse like cards.
Silence never even lifted its sword.
It took every ounce of strength not to.
