Accusing Silence of Galaxies
The silence between us
Spans stars that flare
And puncture space
With shattering rays.
The words we choke back,
Contain planets, galaxies
Ages in the making,
Volatile in their collision.
Half-hearted arguments,
Remnants of battles
That have lost their significance,
Like Pluto's voiceless cry for recognition.
Yes, stars and planets die
When I look at you,
I say nothing,
And my screams are as deafening
As space.
