Elephant

“Taiga”

The elephant in the room
Never forgot
What was kept in her trunk
Packed up terms of endearment
The keepsakes of love
Grown tusky with time
Far from slaughter without
Their unheard ivory
Now humming
In a voice so low
Only she could feel it
Lift the corners of her mouth

Unlisted

“Taiga”

Why do I write? Perhaps in order not to go mad. Or, on the contrary, to touch the bottom of my madness. - E. Wiesel
