J.J. Steinfeld – Ⅳ

Caught Between
 

 

 

some frightened souls talk too much—

the first part of the thought

strikes you precisely at midnight

 

some frightened souls talk not enough—

the second part of the thought

strikes you precisely at noon

 

the thought is not shapely

or especially timely

yet you need it

caught as you are

between a vow of silence

and a scream that will not end
