so much depends on
the heft of your pause
between the end
of my silent question
and the ellipsis trailing
the soundless vector
of your gaze.

Yes the ellipses… … … isn’t there where all the tension lies.. the selfcensorship the words unsaid… (I think our thoughts where on the same line here, but you said it better)
