mute

wrong things have been done

people have been kissed

flowers\'ve been destroyed 

by firmly clenched fist

friends and lovers met

eyes without the gleam

that looked over cup of tea

and thin streaks of steam

 

noses getting bigger

skin begins to harden

every word that has been said 

returns as a burden

 

growing in fear of settling down

of never be forgotten

since every word that has been said

returns loathful and rotten
