golden

no news is good
news
as they say. silence
is golden.
no emails, no calls,
no texts,
no smoke signals.
no cards in the mail,
no hand written notes
slid through the slot
in the door.
no frantic contact
from the near
past.
ah, it's been a good
good night
and a very good
day. let's make it a
week, or a month,
or better yet
a year if that's
okay.
