Give me words
To plug my ears, my mouth
And keep my sanity,
My sense and what clarity I have left
Inside my head.
Speak, speak before you
Lose your voice
Screaming for help.
Speak softly, in a language I can understand,
And maybe we can hold
A conversation
Heavier than air
Weigh me down -
A rock, a burden,
A doorstop -
With a whisper
And show me that
We inhale the same smoke,
The one that
Lies over my eyes.
I do not want to be silent -
In the silence
Everything is dead.
