Description
"i knew this guy
who didn't talk
for a whole year,"
said a friend.

"he ended up on oprah."

i think about the
sheer cliff face of will
he must have climbed
to avoid the habit so long

and then i am puzzled
at how he threw himself
to the rocks below
without any grace to speak of

but the colliding
thoughts supernova
epiphany

the consolation:
orion shining
in the dark sky
of a new moon

and the wonder of
how a blind warrior
is so much like
a writer who hates words
