When words were newly invented
In spite of real hearing impairment or faked
The magic of no words to modulate
…
Whispering and signs
Flamboyant hands to speak
Whispers and fresh kisses to start
…
Two decades ago when language changed
Hearing was ok but faking it was better
The magic of vibrating silences
…
Blocked out voice and throbbing signs
The loudest fingertips to speak
Non stoppable chattering lips
…
After a day of sore throat and being hoarse
Only hearing while the others were filling up the seemingly endless silence
I’ve started remembering the thrill of being silent, vibrating through so longed silences
