the unstained

death is silent
and knows
what was taken
from Absence
must be returned

death is silent
and comes
to teach
the intimate
return

for death itself
just as quietly
slips into mystery
the unloomed
upon return

questioners of the power
of silence
of return
remember
death’s silence

harnessing silence
the fearless embodiment
the universe
watches over
the universe
