you cannot say (re-post)

you cannot say

what has to be felt first

words, they come like ushers

after the event

to clean up, to escort

to appraise, to appease

there is no medium of earth

not saturated

with human’s feelings

even the lava

is quickly taken

for human cause

if I find

any two surfaces touching

they are speaking about us

by grind, by shriek

by hum, by noise

there is no wait involved

but constant is

as shape shifters allow

recognition is

on the other hand

over brow

loving as an antidote

as a portrayal

as an accomplice

or as an anecdote

is lost in translation

from you to me

or me to you

we are not cuttings

seeking existence

we are seed and soil

seeking to express light

as reflected through us

we are each

some of ground

some of kernel

across the fertileness

we these beings

you have left breath

in the megaphone

after the sound has passed

that which is done

with carelessness and abandon

leaves the crumbs

of in-breath essence

beyond the cause or carriage

I know of them in the well

and know of them in passing

they are the applause

of the journey undisclosed

they are the essential-ease

yet unrevealed

to the untrained sense

of passage

your silence s

peaks volumes

but cannot conceal

the fragrance of you

I am an array

in collective embrace

to your sky

small deaths come and go

with each breath

my violin

away from your touch

plays faintly

my song

is your lyrics codified

sung from deep within

unexpectedly

with muted but crisp refrains

is bellowed

beneath and blinded bygones

yet sung beyond the appearance

of this solitude

you have an ear for it

where we are the acoustics

of what plays as us . . .

you cannot say
