Silence

Silence
Do anything to fill the silence
Scratch
Whistle
tap tap tap
Fill that Damned Silence!

Think
I hear something
Sounds in my head
Think again
I like what I hear. . .

Silence
Why is it quiet again?!
Nothing to say?
I can't remember it all
the silence is blinding

Write
fill something with the sounds in my head
pen against paper
chalk against the pavement
fingers against keyboard

Sound.
scritch scratch
Scrape Scrape
tap tap
read aloud
not half bad
the voices have some good ideas
read again so I don't forget

I forgot.
Read it again
someone listening?
Read to them.

I want to hear more.
Sound
Fill the silence.
