Reluctant Sentinel


Neither want
nor need
nor think you deserve;
Simply be...
exist and observe.


The child in the corner sees all.

This Silense...

There is silence ….

Comforting and pacific,
the sort born of familiarity and contentment,
a still balm on the soul of its occupants;
twins in a womb
embraced by unspoken understanding and 
congenial acceptance

… and then there is Silence

Deafening disconcerting and calamitous
Filled with a kinetic lethal psychic noise
Ripe with fears spawned from the unknown;
an endless abyss of cerebral monstrosities,
creeping, lithe and sharp things
crawling from the dark side of 
Pavlovian lessons learned unintentionally.

Sitting in proximity, yet worlds apart
I can’t help but wonder,
mental fly swatter in hand,


… which silence is This?
