silence


silence
is a
language
i'm learning to
speak again.
loving its hushed
whispers;
its quiet
utterances,
listening to
loud thoughts,
voicing out
wordless greetings,
and deafened by
soundless,
mind blowing
screams.

How briefly, subtly, arresting. The last line like a dagger piercing the flesh of stillness. Unwielding, and ethereal.

LOLs at "pa-giggle-giggle na lang." I still remember that time you wrote a whole post in Filipino. I think that was your first post written in the vernacular.
