Silence
ticks!
It is not the
Golden Silence
Emotionally choking
you in
After a
huge rightful windfall,
Or a
reaction following a
Bonanza, or worshipful
Silence
At the Altar. At the
dead end of
Night, when your
key board is
Calmed , when your PC
Shut down , the ancient
grandfather
Clock ticks ,opens
up a new realm
Of eerie
embittering Silence.
That special speculates , speaks
Of hoary past,
hitherto conniving
against you. It points
out its
weird finger, that
something
overflowing is
yours, that blood
Red should
have been your
Greenery,
Prurient, emptied your
coffers.
Clock
ticks every second,
A beat at
your encapsulating darkness
Hitherto dominating
: Now Silence
Dons the
robe of a vigilant
guard
at the reek mound, beckoning me
to go
away, I wake
up only
to hear
the overlapping windy
doors,
milk vendor at the lifts.
