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

Good one. Almost next to silence, if I may say so!
