thresholds

young.outspoken. more impetuous.
that could have been the diagnosis.
but my pain is old.perhaps as old as yours.
how then is yours so silent
even as mine shrieks,scratches,scuffles?
i wish you would teach me how to calm it down.
but i can see.in your eyes.
you have followed your pain.
into a silence whose ignominy
is second only 
to the disgrace of my words.
