~~~~~
In the midst of shadows, sometimes
Oblivion–it appears
  nonetheless inviting to me as I muse
On your uncertainties
And words unarticulated
Expostulated merely
  by a rapture of a gaze
Then:–
  Ruptured by a benevolent coldness
Whenever this soul
     [My soul]
Seeks the comfort of even a word:
   [ "That you..." ]
Ah, a benevolent coldness!
How kind.
Altogether though a pastiche
of yesteryears, two years, a year.
   [Yes you have talked. "That you..."]
Comprising all unsaid
Whilst you had mimed with sentences–
   those yesteryears, two years, a year;
Thoughts.
But now witholding–
   As this soul
      [My soul]
Tramples itself, then pines with hushed pain
Anticipating
Halted waiting.
    (Respondez)
