Careful quiet

Silent safety on the swing
silence reeks in everything
Silent safely on your walk
silent safety, we don't talk.

Swift and quiet here we are
we are silent, in the car
Swift and quiet everywhere
we are quiet, we don't care.

Silence careful in our ears
love and kissing, no not here.
Silence careful every day
we'll be quiet either way.

Hidden deep inside ourselves
we mustn't spoil on the shelves
We are cupboards caving in
crashing dishes; everything.

Silent careful, shush my dear
Love and peace, none of it's here.
Silent careful, soft and swift.
Take pride in quiet, take flight, and, lift.

Going higher, much too high
Breathe in the air, breathe out a sigh
Careful quiet, all alone
Take your breaths, but breathe in stones.

And choke on them,
and cough and sputter
and now you are left to wonder
where the air went,
where'd it go?
It's all just gone,
you're much alone.
And choke on them,
and cough and sputter
and now you are left to wonder
where the air went,
where'd it go?
It's all just gone
you're much
