the moment when the song ends and you still think the music is playing so you sit there like an idiot repeating the song over in your head like a broken record, silent as a detuned radio, silent as the shades of winter, silent as an earthquake shattering in your head. silent as the mind trying to find its way home. silent as the clawing of your intentions, silent as the piano that skips a beat, silent as the pendulum that swings, silent as the bomb that Disintegrates your skin to the touch, silent as the moon hit by an asteroid, silent as the screams you hear at night, silent the whispers of love. silent the killing of time. silent is that moment the beating heart and a babys breath. silence is broken to what you want to hear.
