Silence

Silence

A Poem by Count Humilus
"

Silence of me

"

 In Hollywood I never had one quiet moment

Turning off the phone-

No abandoned hospitals

Predatory banks

Judgments

Nose in the air peer pressure

Ailments

Loves starry eyed implosion

Just silence

A deep breath

Now I finally have silence

The wind whispering against my windows

Sporadic memories tickling the back of my brain

I hear a car drive by

My dog walking on the hard wood floor

My tenant pacing above

My soul aging just a bit faster then the rest

Inhaling smoke-Exhaling thought

I stop typing

I hear all these “silent” happenings all at once

I close my eyes-

 And try to revel in all this silence

Which in truth, there is no such thing

It was never silent at all

Nor will it ever- I scream
