Deafening Silence Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Nothing I can hear
Even the wind doesn’t bring
Any swish I’m expecting

Staying in this vast arid land
Wish the desert beetle can speak
Or the rattle snake will just hiss

Alone
My companies are ants, a bug and a scorpion
But they are so silent
they don’t know how to whistle

the falcons in the air
striding the sky looking for an affair
flapping it’s wings but a rustle doesn’t create

Deafening Silence
Anyone break this I plead
Wish my tears can speak
this deafening silence I want to rip
