a response, to ms. dickinson's thoughtful bit of poetry...


silence...

the silence between the stranger and cause,
for potential sake, illuminated in darkness
controls the structuring of imperfect words,
if only for matters of obvious importance...
while the stranger may die for truth,
the cause will die for beauty unspoken
with words never to have been heard,
by the ear of them who did truly love,
for they were lost in the darkness forever...
and though the stranger shows no understanding
he mourns for her, not for himself...
