You have spoken the answer.A child searches far sometimesInto the red dust On a dark rose leafAnd so you have gone far For the answer is: Silence. In the republicOf the winking stars and spent cataclysmsSure we are it is off there the answer is hidden and folded over,Sleeping in the sun, careless whether it is Sunday or any other day of the week,Knowing silence will bring all one way or another.Have we not seenPurple of the pansy out of the mulch and mold crawl into a dusk of velvet? blur of yellow?Almost we thought from nowhere but it was the silence, the future, working.
