Patience Frayed



MorgueFile

words fail
their tricks
subtly fraying
the edges of patience
until all i have left
is silence

    This is really stunning, Audrey. It is such a evocative little piece of writing, it gave me pause.

    Silence is a good weapon. It speaks very loudly.

    As a writer/poet, you will never be silent, even after you are gone, and we are all the richer for it.
