Accusing Silence of Galaxies

The silence between us

Spans stars that flare

And puncture space

With shattering rays.

The words we choke back,

Contain planets, galaxies

Ages in the making,

Volatile in their collision.

Half-hearted arguments,

Remnants of battles

That have lost their significance,

Like Pluto's voiceless cry for recognition.

Yes, stars and planets die

When I look at you,

I say nothing,

And my screams are as deafening

As space.
