Default unheard


silence speaks
gestures more so
am I lacking movement?

alone I sit
alone I gesture,
am I hearing the unspoken word?

concerned, I am,
of the other involved:
the audience
to which I say nothing

Gesturing toward the unspoken like a Koan. Saying nothing says everything.

Love that song. Especially the version sung by a woman.

This poem makes a world of sense. You can't read someone's mind or gauge his or her emotions. There's loads of uncertainty.
