Your Name, Not Said

The Celestial Parlour Orchestra

Compositor: Não Disponível

I entered a sentence
That omitted your name
Left the space hollow
The grammar ashamed

No vowel disturbed
The held breath between
Not silence
But the blade of what stays unseen

I turned the page
Expecting your script
Found only watermark stains
Where your fingers had gripped

Your name, not said
Rings out somehow
Some voids grow jaws
This one's chewing now
