Two Pieces Of Silence Poem by Grahame Lockey

Two Pieces Of Silence



A breakable silence held
until a tear rolls
into a sob
and you turn away your face.

Each momentous thing
sends ahead
a piece of itself
to say it is coming.

An unbreakable silence held
until a tear fails
to well up
and you turn to me your face.

Each momentous thing
leaves behind
pieces of itself
to say it has gone.


(1989)
