Silences
By Jone MacCulloch
Inspiration piece

A moonless sky tonight
The phone in the hall doesn’t ring
Commas drift like clouds
Weather’s changing, my scar knows

The phone in the hall doesn’t ring
It’s been years since we spoke
Weather’s changing, my scar knows
Unopened documents sit on the counter

It’s been years since we spoke
Silences hang between words
Unopened documents sit on the counter
I watch the tulips close at sunset

Silences hang between words
The shattered plate, a floor puzzle
I watch the tulips close at sunset
Was there anything left unsaid?

The shattered plate, a floor puzzle
Commas drift like clouds
Was there anything left unsaid?
A moonless sky tonight
