What Silence Said

Does the unknown bird enter and leave the cage ?
Paris café. our last rendez-vous ./rainswept, backwardscripted windows/our shrunken heads reading signs and lips
One last dance . broken steps / before your eclipse
Was there thunder in your ears?/ mine were full of sand, not hearing/
What your silence said/ and if I turn around, your mouth open/
No sound. your eyes screaming/ retreating into blackness
A day too late, your news found me at home./
Mind bubbling up/ angry water refusing a stone/
And then revenge/ I felt life surge in my veins/
A hunger you would never taste again
Did you lose your faith in love?/
Did you lose faith in human feeling?/
Silence./ did you lose your trust in truth?/
Did your heart find no way to healing / like I lost you?
You left your lovers close behind/
All twisted up in time, you crossed the line./
It's all we have this thin twine./ then nothing/
Just the emptiness you carved / your spine a lonely blade
In space/ to the end a dancer/ beautiful face begins to fade/
Thanks you for being my friend/ beautiful face begins to fade
