The taunt of silence

They pull the triggers through their mind,

an insipid void left behind,

for the bullet that passes through,

is the sound of silence asking 'who?'

Whether the silence be pleasant or callous,

perilous, deadly, or sheer malice,

a lump in the throat, an incessant haunt,

yes, silence is deadly, forever a taunt.
