samia on a roll - 1

Conversational silence


My quiet words
fall on you
like leaves
onto

the scales of a stream.

Yours
like ink blots
sink in;
sad,
sad thoughts.

Compartmentalized
feelings
I can't own.

Conquered I -

by the lonely.

Solitude is far

beneath tall trees.


Here,

only this;

the box I’m in-

shrinking

slowly;

choking me, within.
