silence broken

empty like Mother Hubbard's cubbards; sacred few are roaming w/ boredom
mystery surrounds the edifice, yet the silence remains.
fog rolls in the lot,
                         concealed are they
                                                but they'll break free.
Blood wears the wall,
                            words carved in stone;
                                                          yet the silence remains.
Basketball formed by paper,
                                   fountain flows the water,
                                                              nearer comes the tension.
As the pressure demands change,
                                      they change their sides of a hat
                                                                          as the silence is abruptly broken.
