In silence it echoes...

In silence it echoes twice as loud.

The sibilance sounds softly in my head

And reminds me of heady sweetened Irish.

They like it when I’m quiet.

Quietly the loss is borne and the pain relived.

Only the joints sound now – creaking and moaning like an old woman

Past her prime with nothing left to lose anymore.

But remembering everything.

And everything is suffered in silence.

In silence it echoes twice as loud.
