Beyond the many mouths Of the imagination, Or dreams, Which give us words, Is numbness Like a wind Through icy branches, Or the dead center Of what we know. In a stillness That whispers, A silence That rustles Like dead leaves, Clacking like branches In the night, In the darkness burning, We cannot look Upon others Without compassion, Or upon ourselves Without fear.
