Contention
Suddenly gardenia
sighs white passion
while puffy cotton and the curtains
signal all to quiet down
even dust hovers mid air
like avoiding noise of falling
on the finely polished floor
bird in his cage looked elsewhere
you mute the tv
imagine all the noise of the agora
the commotion in the bus
just after gardenia bloom stood up
again reminding you of silence
and contention of silence
