Shut up, I say; you keep on laughing
anyway. Can't you see
my lips silently forming the words
to your face, I haven't said?
So I don't say it to your face.
This fragile peace of ours is worth it
I guess. But how long
before I crack? I'm not a seamless
sack, you know.
It depends on whether or not
you're in earshot when I crack.
I pity who is if you're not.
They'll get the lashing you deserve.
So stop chipping at this words.
You don't care for me, I know
but strangers, friends, followers?
It's a snake-tongue I have, forked
and poison-dipped.
I won't yell at you. I can do worse
so you'd do well to heed this silent cry
before it's loud.

When it finally snows here, I'll catch a snowflake and put it in the fridge.
