10// reticence (nonverbality) Lyrics by Olive Bernhart

Kodus Modus

2019

reticent (adj.):
1: inclined to be silent or uncommunicative in speech : reserved
2: restrained in expression, presentation, or appearance
3: reluctant
It is
Quiet here.
You are
Dressed in black,
A modest look
Served best with tea.
But you cannot spill.
You cannot speak.
If you think of words,
They come out as a squeak.
You open your mouth,
It’s shaped like a beak
You close it again,
You’re just far too meek.
Too hesitant
Too soft
Too shy, polite
I say you are not!
You are none of these things.
If softness was bad
I’d be wearing the rings
‘Round my wrists
Red and black
Such wonderful shades!
Such angry and beautiful, wonderful shades!
Much like them, you are
So gentle and pure.
So loved and so beautiful,
So so demure.
You’re my one and only,
My wonderful friend.
With you there’s no death
Life will have no end.
