I think we purposely create these
awkward silences
hold them between us
stiff armed with eyebrows raised
resisting the urge to fill them up
with something meaningful
scared of the implications
already smeared on the walls above us
in some weird code
if we relax too much
perhaps the dams will break
spilling out into those tepid quiets
and we'll get swept away, drown
in a flood of words
while everyone else sits behind their sandbags
