Secrets
life theories unable to join never thought I’d hear the deafening silence can you find the silence lend an ear this is not just the beginning pause the show for a minute or two stand behind your brothers wake again to breed the female a slow death of air a baby’s laughter is the greatest price of fear © 2013 J.H.

Song of Silence
the population
in the
hallway
its so many
not the truth
and i’d better
stop singing
the quartets
come close
a memory
haunting
this minute
a wind howling
us and them
wrapped and adjoined
searching
enjoy the warning
for what happens next
the lyrics escape me
the setting is clear
so many times
a lullabye
traveling in time
to listen
a thought, despite
the tragedy sleeping
in the right direction
but your cup is empty

The Guardian
hear the horizon
sweet honeysuckle wafts
totally silent and
very gladly accepted
guardianship
over the new light
absolutely
just discovered
leave it to watch
or another reason
given to the sky
made in the new
a vow
taken with
a baby’s laughter
hand-painted glass
a wise young teacher
thought
and said
life is so much more
than i needed
