' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' An Explosion Of Silence

Rating: 2.7


Out of the eye socket
of a sheep’s skeleton

an invisible cricket
sang & sang

as if its life
depended on it

and when I took
a step towards it

a twig
snapped

and the silence
was as loud

as an explosion
only without the noise!
