Silence Wails

A dose of attention
may cure abandonment
A spoonful of care
may cure loneliness
But no medicine can cure
The boredom I feel inside

I watch the pot burn on the fire
I am too weak of will to intervene
As it’s content burn and ooze away
Goes does the content of my head astray
I am bereft of desire in the flare of this world.

Like a wife
cast aside in the silence of the bed
So I am
facing the wall in the darkness of this night
No one to cuddle me
Only sadness by my side, snoring
I stare at nothing in this nothingness

Cry my infant cry
I do not hear him cry
Call the skylark call
I do not hear it call
I only hear silence scream
loudly in my head scream
