A SILENCE OF ‘UN’S
    NAMITHA VARMA                                   

Every unspoken word
rings in my mind like
the echo of silence
along the valleys.
In the resonances
of its penetrating voice,
I drive into myself,
deeper and deeper.
Is it calm?
Is it eerie?
or, is it a vacuum?

Deep within me,
I find,
fragments of unvoiced thoughts.
I do not know
how to reconstruct them.
I do not know their shapes.

Namitha Varma is a media professional and a
self-proclaimed narcissist based in Mangalore.
She has been writing poetry since she can remember. Being a part of three different cultures –
Malayali, Gujarati and Kannada – constantly
broadens her outlook of arts, life and humanity. She blogs at narcissistwrites.blogspot.com.
