One Big Silence

two voices
reach my shores
hinting metamorphosis
within stagnation
i’ve had no expectations
only secrets buried under
awkward desires
with one big silence.

now an old order
bends
beginning a new story
but i idle
in the shadowy dregs
of how the story goes
wondering how to move
with this unrecognizable gesture.

dodging my blindside
i get stuck
fearing what else I might miss
if i don’t face the opening
step through the passage
pay the respect
of knowing
that i’ve got nothing to lose.
