It was an afternoon.
As we found ourselves
sitting in rooms
silenced by those
who seek sanity
and their own silence
,
By those
who seek
more
,
Partially empty.
devoid
from voids
of temporary
interactions
as silence
gave in to
bounds
of sound
as it began
to feel
like the
seals
were finally peeling
off
;
But
we should have
known better
,
tethering
on the precipice
of sound
isn’t really
escaping silence
,
All it ever does
is seal
u
s
in it
,
No matter how much we try to peel it off.

Fingers slipped
towards
remains
We somehow
began
letting go
of
Giving
semblances
of maybes
and hope
We somehow
always
wanted to
hang on to.

And after all of this
we found
ourselves
bound
to
temporary
moments
escaping
into
scents
of reminiscence.

The clouds
hold back
their tears
As skies
turn grey
in days
descending
into an
accumulation
of those
forgotten.
