Composed 6/21/20
Description: An old, unposted poem as I muster up inspiration to get back into the writing game…
Silence
is not an absence
it is an abundance
of words that congeal inside my lungs
when truth is stranger
and sadder
than fiction, than satire
we are
personally, professionally, socially
overwhelmed
no wonder
no one can breathe
