| Posted by Rula Shin on 05/03/05 at 07:02 PM Yes, one lives in speaking, the other in silence...but who is the silent one and who is the one that speaks when it's silence that speaks most? That is the paradox. That's what I saw. As always your writing is so compelling, so challenging no matter the length or succinctness (is that a word? haha)...I love this and you are brilliant. |

the sound from just one? Anyhow I clap for this poem....Charlie |
