no. 1 (suddenly mute)

suddenly mute.

in a conversation so long, so intricate,
so involved, so deep,
that when it ends I cannot speak.

why?

confused, I try the voice and I hear my voice.
its still there. then what isn't?
what isn't is knowing what to say,
and I knew what to say by who I said it to,
to you.

but now
I am suddenly mute.
