Untitled - July 29, 2002

There is a certain sanctity
in knowledge
that words attributed
to the unknown speaker
are no better
than those actions
by a coward.

Empty of meaning
but filled with vitriol,
their mere repetition
tolls the bell once more
on the icy descent
of silence.

Letting the absence of words
speaking their disdain,
and giving up
the empty feeling for today.
