About That Magic Connection
When fast-talking infatuation forces us to late-night tell our last secrets, we search for new magicians in silence.

I like the pace of this poem and the compact, straight to the point aspect of this. I am also digging the magicians, haha and silence

In its compact nature, is there a way to show "silence" (ie. using punctuation or spacing)?

To add a nice, still breath, Maranda could put "silence" indented on another line, but that doesn't eliminate the word. Maybe an ellipsis on a separate line. That would look like a cool vanishing trick too.

Kate i dont' think it's a bad thing to re-arrange the poem because i really no sold on it as a couplet, i'm not completely convinced that it's the best layout for this gorgeous little poem.

They could mimic that awkward silence that occurs during a stale conversation or following a breakup/insult during an argument. The line would simply taper off.
