The Silence Lyrics by Rolf Dieter Brinkmann

You Call It Language

0

The silence
blackens the voice they
continue talking with the
stomach the words
climb skyward it
turns the tongue green
it explodes
the tooth the voice
blackens the language they
turn their
throats around
the cock in the courtyard
crows three times the
lungs burst
from asthma
the language free
blackens the people they
have no more voices
the mouth
is empty the
ear heard
a silence
