Don't Talk About Silence

— Don't talk about silence: it doesn't like sounds at all or any kind of mental tricks. Yes, don't say anything. Keep quiet till the next dawn — for journeys into the heights. Keep all the combinations of letters. Be silent completely — and there, in the box, not tempted by anything, and having put aside your "why" for at least a few seconds, and having waited out the growing riot, crawl out so quietly and shyly, like a little fish, as if deaf and mute. Swim with me, eyes closed. Let the unknown not scare you, while your mouth is sewn shut with thread and images aren't erased by sound — you're mistaking this for a trick. And what's that voice, like a thunderstorm? The soul… the soul… And again it's silent…
