Sound and Silence by Kofi Anyidoho

Because because I do not scream

You do not know how bad I hurt

Because because I do not kiss

on public squares

You may not know how much I love

Because because I do not swear

again and again and again


You wouldn’t know how deep I care

You keep saying

How somehow our world must live by signs

But see how much we give away

Doing time in pursuit of signs

deprived of all meaning

and of all purpose

We break our words in two. Then we

Split each half into sounds and silences
