"...and Quiet"

My own quietness mimics
the dead

who had nothing more
to say, had no more living to do
and decided to lie down

with the rest of their loves
for eternity

True. Sometimes it seems like the dead shout to me.

Thank you. Been working on "fewer words" on some of my older poems. This is one of those.

Thanks.

A poem like this would be denigrated at AT. The main puckheads are not poets. They are shouters.
