silence soia I can take this. I am just fine. "I know that I am capable of dealing with every situation as it arises." 010305 ... pilgrim Where is the silence? I do not believe that it Exists. Has any one of you ever truly found it? The cities even late at night, In the still moments between midnight and morning? No , the sixty cycle hum is ever present. In the deep forest primeval? where shadows long and deep reside? No, The sound of dew drops falling from leaves to forest floor below, Entwines with growing twigs that push aside , The last of rotting branch to fall amid insect hum and birds that call. Down in the depths of caverns cool You still hear droplets splash in pools. And even Out between the stars The rush of stellar winds howl by Electromagnetic songs of stellar birth Explosive screams of stars that Die! There is no silence really. 010306 ... mikey intersting. perhaps silence is strictly a state of mind. like not the forest sounds itself...its the silence or moreover the peace sometimes we feel in certain places. like in the bathroom! thats a great haven sometimes...silly as it sounds. 010306 ...

Toxic_Kisses Your Silence Momentary trip through time Eats the noisy brain Like spaghetti through a strainer The essence of life is squeezed out Through a mesh grid of symbolism Feeding intellectual bulemia My mind is eaten alive by your Silence Tripditary moment in rhyme Consumes the literary soul Like flies on a bloated corpse An insatiable need devoures this rotting beast with a fervor of didacticism ensuing psychological divergence My soul is at war with your Silence Popsicle veins were all you had of mine freezing a perpetually numbed heart Like ice clinging to exposed skin The pain was multiplied unto nonexistance Result of calculus: nothing.

There is a twofold SILENCE-the sea and shore- Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places, Newly with grass o'ergrown; some solemn graces, Some human memories and tearful lore Render him terrorless: his name is "No More." He is the corporate Silence: dread him not! 020731 ... u24 I have heard silence twice. Both times were amazing.

She calls, saying, "I know I said a lot of hurtful things last week. You know I didn't mean any of it." (I'm quiet for a while, choosing instead to say nothing rather than provoke another argument. After weeks of this, I'm finally tired.) "Samantha, you know the kind of pressure I'm under. I know that it's not always easy for you either, but I just can't understand what you have to complain about. I mean, bad day? What possible reason can there be for you to have a bad day?" (More bait, oh yeah, she's baiting me all right.) "Look, your dad would really like you to come for his consultation. He needs all the support he can get." I answer, brave at last, "You know this has nothing to do with Dad. According to you, I need drugs, remember?" (Silence.) "You're just incapable of supporting me, aren't you? You just have no idea how hard my life is, Samantha." (More silence.) "Mom, if you want me to go, just say so." "Oh God, I'd hate to be the one to drag you back to the place that depresses you so much! "Wah wah wah", I don't want to hear that anymore. I'd rather you never went again if I'd have the slightest hope to never hear you say one more word!" "Why did you call?" "I have no idea." (A long silence this time. Who will be the champion? Who can wait the other out? This pathetic match of wills feels like it could go on forever. It almost does.) We haven't had this conversation yet, but we will. After all, we've had it many times before. In the end, I'm the bad guy and somehow I get over it. We go back to normal and pretend that we're not going to have this fight a million times afterward. Silence, for now. 070117 ... hsg when my mind starts to worry and run chaotic like a puppy headed towards traffic, it's there im most uncomfy and there i learn the most. 080729 ... raze "i'm reminded of the jewish survivor paul antschel, who after his return from the extermination industry turned his surname around and became paul celan, because he had first gone from life toward death but was now trying to find his way from death back to life. coming from the other direction, however, nothing looked the way it should. language, everything had been hollowed out by events. no word had kept its meaning. everything he knew had to be disacknowledged. the words had to be taken piece by piece, syllable by syllable, and securely refitted into the silence." — p.f. thomése (from "shadowchild") 211006 ... nr it's been a bit now, and it feels more normal than expected. 220707 ... tender_square as i lay awake in bed, earplugs discharged, listening to a lack of traffic and chattering at 3:30 am, my heart heavy as a paperweight. as i walked the avenue, with a stride that felt like stolen steps, nearby houses not yet bursting with after-work bustle. as i swung on the hammock, wrapped in a hoodie after days of incandescent heat, comforted by a cloudy sky. 230605 what's it to you? who go blather from
