"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." -Ernest Hemingway


One day, she told me that
the best way
to get her point across was
in silence.

I thought of how
this looked-

rain clouds drifting
faster than we
could ever imagine
over the swell
of mountains,
the mountains expecting
nothing-

I figured that I,
maybe,
had been missing this
sort of storm long enough
to not be frightened of it.

She looked down at the promises
in her hands and I decided that
they were too big
for her to carry.

My friend communicates (or doesn't communicate) a bit differently than I. She insists on keeping things bottled up.
