Dea Tacita The Silent One, Lady of The Dead
The weight of silence
Can a scientist measure the weight of silence?
I sit in the silence and feel the weight pressing down
Inside my head a soundless voice crying out
Needing to break the barrier that surrounds the space
Silence full of pent up emotion
So smoothly impermeable and densely compacted
How many kilograms of silence weigh upon a metre of space?
Every centimetre of skin is alive to the pressure silence brings to bear
All sound is crushed under the weight
No word is spoken
But we all know
Silence creates the loudest statement
Angerona, Lady of the Winter Silences
