I’ll never lend a word
For the havoc I’ve spawned
For the swarms of quivering lines
I’ve scratched into being

An eternal silence
Shall not give way
To any fond reflecting wisps

I’ll beckon no longer
Of the many miles claimed
Of my heartfelt travels
I’ve pinned in the arms of verse

I will never speak
A solitary word
In favor
Nor in cold contempt
