Sssh-ilence
I am thinking about silence……the sounds of silence, a cliché, the silence of sounds, the uncircumcised ear of Jeremiah 6. Descriptions of the kingdom of decimated bells…….Hush: Living room, black and white photographs on one wall, digital coloured prints on another. Mute: All the king’s men when they discovered Humpty Dumpty climbed the wall to see the Emperor’s new clothes. Lull: When the lalang in the wasteland of the heart is transplanted into the greenhouse of the left brain. Muffle: Mona Lisa without Da Vinci code to decipher the agnostic gospel of the smile. Aphony: ( A phoney) Plagiarism. Quite quiet: Opus Dei, opening of the seventh seal. Museum silence: His Master’s Voice in the hearth. Messiah silence: My Master’s voice in the heart. Silence born again: An empty manger, no more hay of the flesh to feed the animals of desire!
S T O N E D
It is not the forbidden
I eat but the fruit
I bid for with the widow’s
two mites of my flesh
and now the serpent of the tree
is the Medusa
of the head, its stare
has turned the apples
of my conscience into stones
to silent a prophet.
