Signs

A sinking feeling
A nagging thought
A scream wanting to come out
A persistent prodding
A relentless nudge
What are they about?

Glazed eyes
Quiet sighs
A slight crinkling of the nose
Disappointed looks
Forehead furrows
Was that a sneer? Who knows?

A thick silence
A meaningful pause
Questions without answers
Signposts and lights
Dots and lines
Was that a code? Who cares?

Signs.
