“they are at the extreme limit of language, where language itself (and who else would do so in its place?) recognizes that it is without backing or guarantee, working without a net.”
–Roland Barthes
Taciturn
by nature,
My words mean
What they say.
No dance of obfuscation
To tease out a deceit,
I said it quietly,
Sincerely.
Then as now,
They are
What I have
To offer.
