Little and big secrets
silence, unsharing
from shame, for protection
blank spots
in the telling
of our story
Carved off areas
sometimes casually shared
As if we knew, forgetting the
secret
the missing words
names crossed from address books
pain pushed down
Missing memories
scraps of childhood
undiscussed
moments casually blurted out
when there was no warning,
forgetting, the secrets spoken.
