Dark Silence

We tried in every way to cheat silence with words and empty gestures and yet between and around us in colossal waves silence came, flooding our streets, drowning our people, gnawing at our books , only our films could talk like parrots oblivious to eschatology. Love was not an excuse powerful enough to make us speak. We surrendered to silence, to its cold steel fragrance, to its wet fingers, to its infinite black wall.....a metastasis of silence ensued, but now I know how it all began, it began simply when one night waking up in our sleep we forgot to remember each other.
