Wordless Poem by Ivan Donn Carswell

Wordless



I guess we ran out of talk –
the who’s that and what does it mean
stuff we used to survive on

and the unrequited repartee
which burdens silence still
as tacitly cynical clichés

this debris seems greater
than leavings of
just two disaffected souls

like take-away scraps
balanced on the lips
of wordless garbage bins
