quietness…

Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
You’re covered with thick clouds.
Slide out the side. Die,
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign
that you’ve died.
Your old life was a frantic running
from silence.

The speechless full moon
comes out now.

Sometimes you can’t explain what you see in a person.
It’s just the way they take you to a place no one else can.

She always had that about her, that look of otherness,
of eyes that see things much too far,
and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world.
