No Other Way But Poetry





one day
you’ll open my eyes
and read them
like a book

know my secret
from the way
i move,
hear it
whispered
on your breath

one day
you’ll understand
all the words i spoke
and all the words
i didn’t speak

read your name
in the poems
in which
you remained
unnamed

for an instant
your heart
will twist and turn
with my anguish

and then you’ll see:

there was
no other way
to tell this tale

no other way
but
poetry

and silence
