Silent Conversations

Silent Conversations
4/9/09-Concerning events observed on 4/8/09 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

Place of stillness
Silent dialogues
An endless chatter
Of musings and mindlessness
Frozen figures
Gazing across the gallery
Speaking in their silent language
A glimpse perhaps
Carefully crafted
Constructed and preserved
Permanently communicating
Across still thick air
Lauded by the Blue Coats
With their ill tension
Gabriel reaches out for David
As I attempt to take him in
Perching momentarily
I panic to murder
An unfortunate spider
That darted between my legs
What could I do,
In a tomb of creation
Where life is shunned
For the preservation
Of silent conversation?
