Against Silence Valentine

Often the world is in mortal danger
Of ending up in a poem
All the words crowding together
 
In stations and in airports
Struggling to catch
The last flights out
 
But the invading armies of silence
With their victories of defeat
Come rumbling down the street
 
While on the rooftop the poem is screaming
To be rescued and lifted away
By some helicopter or boat
 
But who will come to finish it
When the world is long abandoned
Before the poem is ever done
