I tried to pry open
The pursed lips of silence
Only succeeding in eliciting
A dour smile
Foreshadowing
As ink dripped from a pen
And the papers folded
On themselves
In an origami fold
Weaving patterns
On my broken mind
I took a pen
And wrote what I saw
But it clattered noiselessly
Apparently dyslexic
Words had forgotten
Their meanings
The inkblot had spread
Beyond the paper
To haunt my waking moments
