I listened hard, but couldn't hear it
the sound of a bird falling out of a nest.
In Munch we've seen a silent scream.
The virgin and the harlot both wear red.
Who is who? Which is which?
Behind the sheen, a silent scream.
Matisse offered Odalesques, tantalizing
from a safe remove, languishing
lazily, sultry queen, with silent scream.
I listened, but couldn't hear the falling.
a breeze, breathing below white wings
raised goose and nene with silent scream.
The sound of a bird falling out of a nest
is fear and excitement and promised suspended
white world turned green, this silent scream.
The falling bird flies, or dies.
The mute poet shouts, drowns out
what has been a silent scream.
