how quiet it seems
crickets and birds and dread bedded down
even the bone stiff moon
declines to sit up and sing
grinning voiceless
in the cool black blessing of night
and the stars
all that crackling energy
whisperless in the faraway ether
consuming silence
we’re all the same
I want to say
so talk to me
coo in my ear
rattle my longing
tell me you and I
and all our wondrous kind
live on somehow
