"Practice what you preach" is a well known phrase; however, it should really say "preach what you practice" and there would probably be less talking and more doing.
Your silence
the angry stare
the turned cheek
away from my kiss
the slamming door
the lock clicking behind
the wedding band -
tossed wildly -
chipping paint from
freshly painted walls
before hiding behind the TV
the Internet history
of nude models
and bloody erotic scenes
the crossed arms
the double speak -
a salesman’s voice
when you walk out my door
turned devil
when you walk back in -
the cold separation
of time
and space
and heart
You say all I need to hear
without so much as a whisper.
