We won’t talk about this. They did not say
just indicated with dark indifference
She wondered about the change of stance
It was something she always knew
They disliked her impudence, or maybe
feared she might cross boundaries again
-boundaries
she had never stayed within…
Why did she come around? they thought
when she knows her unacceptability
Why does she peep into their inadequacies
or deeply entrenched, outdated beliefs?
-beliefs that they know protect them
from the unknown devils beyond
and her types…
They go their own way.
In different directions
On circular paths
Hoping they never meet again
But…

Reena — this really captures that heavy, unspoken silence. I like how you show both sides without saying too much, and the tension just sits there. So well done!
