Speechless

.dot.dot.dot
when there's nothing to say

when the worm crawls in
and you find yourself naked
splayed on the living room floor
bowing to nil

when under viral seige
fluids-both ends-spewing
brains of molten lava
impossible weakness

when the finality of "bye"
like a slap in the face
you turn and go
and went, slumping inside

when mad rage possesses you
words fly from your lips
like poison needles
biting to pucker

when death crashes the party
nothing seems possible
everything futile
moving in a dream

 

when you're bored

and time is irrelevant
and apathy, an errant

water droplet on a glass of ice tea


meandering [like this poem] to a meaningless muddle


there is nothing to say
but .dot.dot.dot

    I like how the idea behind this seemed to solidify the further into the poem you got, you pulled the reader along nicely. Having said that, I think a more defined ending would have done more for it. However, I enjoyed the reference back to the beginning.

    Thank you

    Excellent images. I applaud your willingness to push on when 'there is nothing to say.'
