Golden?
Posted on 15th Jan 2021
Golden? The silence of a life cut short tragically, too brief. The silence of a bereaved mum overwhelmed with grief. The silence of the couple lost in their own thoughts. The silent tear she sheds when he asks her for divorce. The silent look of horror before that bomb explodes. The silent sign she gives as she steps into the road. Those silent games they played that went beyond pretend. This silence is forever no beginning and no end.

Muet comme une carp Me! muet comme une carp Quipped Dauphy, quietish Don't like fish, bones too sharp But mice are quite a different dish. Muet comme une carp: a French expression meaning as silent as a carp, or fish In the UK we would say as quiet as a mouse.
