Bergman’s
The Silence
by Kenneth
Pobo
Outside an old hotel, tanks
and trucks rattle. In their room,
his mother wants him around,
doesn’t want him around. He
hears his dying aunt hoist
her body. His childhood:
closing doors, secrets,
sounds he doesn’t understand.
Silence ticks,
could go off any minute.
That train he’s catching –
where does it lead?
