Ineffable Silence

Theres a darkness pressing in on me

And I feel the air deaden

Like lead in my lungs

A shyness pressing to the corner

My beaming light hidden

Burning feebly

There faces seem painted

With insincerity

I look about

Light smoldering in my eyes

And wonder about their thoughts

Their slimy gears turning

And think about my own

Shuffling, jostling

Ineffably silent
