Deaf

Gili Trawangan - Lombok

This quietness is deafening.

That kind that none of the animals in the jungle could break with their chirps or roars.

That kind of which the wind can't put to sleep

nor the ocean can mould in the ticking of clocks.

That kind, that the heat only burns to make it wildly blazing

and the rain sweeps to leave traces on wet muddy ground

That kind.......... only flesh and bones can redeem

A kiss

and lots of hugs

A smile

Perhaps, the night is not young 

Let us slip away in the sweetness of dreams and smother this silence to shatter early in the morning, 

on our side of the bed.

Love,

Sudi
