I was dreaming of a white space
Had interposed itself between us two-

A blank wall; neither dark nor light
No recrimination there but silence
The silence that falls only at night.

Silence gone to snowy hazards
Like the shadows made from deeper blue-

And invisible but slippery edges,
As blindly groping in the darkness
To reach the haven- but you're not there yet.

Though I would wall myself with silence
And spend my life as one, not two-

Before I'd hurt another being,
Sometimes intentions brick the dam up
Before the devastation's seen.
