silence was cracked by a dull thump's mocking tone
had fractured and shattered the din into discordant narratives
where the singular discussion was lost and buried within fragments of loud idle patter
handfuls of broken obsidian cast into no gravity
twinkling opaque and of negative space
an overlapping of stops and starts
dissonances with no distances
glass panels wrecked into one another at odd angles
uncertain as to how they share conflict or shine
