silt to the hilt

words of lead

dense and heavy

plunge below the surface


displaced memories

swirl     murky turbulence

drifts in smothering clouds


soundlessly

they bury themselves

hastily lobbed torpedoes 


silt to the hilt

they remain undetonated

to pulverize any potential future


aimed at random

purposeful they've sunk

consigned to love's oblivion
