There is a stillness nothing can touch
I have a body inside my body
Something not even my mother knows about
Or, if she does, she never once
Spoke with it
Preferring perhaps the bland outside
Die now, silent me
No one cares to know your voice
My dad, he is dead so long
I see him breathing inside my body
When it’s called to think
I don’t know if he lives also
Inside my other body that he speaks with
Quietly when he’s not asleep
Die now, silent me
Lest he comes to turn in that stillness like a planet
