緘──Unsaid

緘

 

 

生行複複，日斂塵蒙

痛刺時在，血咽舌緘

情無可卿，狀莫可明

傾墨江湖，欲老羞書

Unsaid

 

By Dana Gioia

 

So much of what we live goes on inside–
The diaries of grief, the tongue-tied aches
Of unacknowledged love are no less real
For having passed unsaid. What we conceal
Is always more than what we dare confide.
Think of the letters that we write our dead.
