A calm one

Brittle words, or words that easily vibrate when the lips come together
hold some importance, I’m sure,
but only momentarily,
for the genius that fails to surface often
fades

but there's a coffin to break the silence
and an emotion to give it license
as a lover loosens hold on
at once the possibility of
change

mark this down
this time, just mark this one down

a calm one never spoke until spoken to
and fresh earth has a way of opening
blind hands

a crime.
