Library

While I sit quietly
In the university library
I realize
How much silence
Books demand
From every reader

This reminds me of us
And our little libraries
Of emotions
How much silence has crept in!

Like water grows fat
When it freezes
Silence between us
Has bloated too
Beyond its natural state

Could it be
That one of us
Has turned into a book
And the other is reading?

Could it be
That you are silently reading me
And that’s why we don’t talk anymore?
