<blockquote><p>quience (this is still not the longest poem)</p></blockquote>
<p>i<br>
.<br>
this silence is a symphony of death.<br>
we dance to pledge allegiance to its sung dirge<br>
of a frustrated future and castrated present<br>
present in the heart<br>
of this silence.<br>
.<br>
this silence is a reflexive response<br>
to the stimulus that pricked adam’s heart<br>
when there was no ecclipse<br>
and the sun sat upon the seas<br>
busy feasting on the forbidden fruit<br>
we all took part in adam’s apple<br>
we are all a part<br>
of this silence<br>
.<br>
this silence, is a symphony of death.<br>
.<br>
ii<br>
.<br>
quience<br>
.<br>
this silence is a canker worm<br>
hitting the liver of every muse with fever<br>
this silence silences sirenes<br>
and the cord of every discord<br>
this quience is in your tongue, my tongue, your<br>
thumb-print<br>
on the day you endorsed silence<br>
in the stead of bubblings<br>
casting off our uniqueness off my thumb<br>
silence is changed, change is silenced<br>
this silence is the echo in the marks of our<br>
thumbs<br>
.<br>
quience is the absence of sun, moon and stars<br>
the seven heaven and the planets<br>
quience is the dissolution of monuments and<br>
stones –<br>
the eviction and extinction of heaven and hell<br>
this silence is not tangible<br>
this quience exists only in our hearts.<br>
.<br>
quience iii<br>
.<br>
quience is the reverberations of our heart in its<br>
cased caseine<br>
it is the echo from the verbal chimneys of denied<br>
progenies<br>
denied the free gift of living<br>
a minute quience for the souls of darkness<br>
this is silence in the quience of my room –<br>
a licence to exanguish nonsence for hi-sense<br>
nonentity for a great entity, an identity of integrity<br>
.<br>
the ‘lord’ is in his holy temple beyond ‘the rock’<br>
let all earth be ‘quiet!’ before him<br>
dare you question his crazy ‘auto’rity?<br>
this is the silence that flows in our veins<br>
it is the veination on the tree that nailed our<br>
manhood<br>
.<br>
quience is the shackle around our wrist<br>
the struggle within the soul of our sole<br>
whenever we are chained by the discretion of our<br>
heart<br>
our brain, our thoughts, tongue and thumb<br>
.<br>
i am silent, you are quiet<br>
we dwell in quience<br>
and we are the silence<br>
.<br>
this quience only exists in our hearts –<br>
a reverberation of our cased heart</p>
