on relative silences
sitting here
in the city’s somewhat-silence
remembering your old porch
i realize again
this quiet is yet a shout.

–I wonder when this was written. I took a photo of the handwritten original and just found it. Mind you, the date of the photo only shows the latest date the poem could have been written. I could see why I’d hesitated, incidentally; there were a few things to be corrected that have been, at least somewhat. Although they’d seem minor to most I think, they weren’t to me. I still repeat ‘silence’ once. Still, the thought is true. It has been so long since I’ve known silence!

It’s new, not from voices. O well.
