A Silent World

got a headache
and i shall not tell you

i do not share pain
so i hide away from you

i go behind the house
tied a hammock between two trees

the sun is up and
the shade is cool

i lay my body inside the hammock
and i rock myself slowly

slowly sleep drowns me
into a forgetting

the world is silent
upon a grass so green
