speech is sound dunked in meaning. Silence is when the dunked sound is too meaningful and drops off, sodden with content. Or the dunking fails and makes a noise.
I am wearing an eye patch with a first class stamp stuck to it because I went languid on a famous battlefield and was spotted. I was sentenced and now must heave the full stop -- the size of a bouder-- up and down like Sisyphus -- only going from right to left and not up a gradient. The divine countenance is not bearded, it's just His/Her face rests above the snowline. I thank you.

Mine's a morning coffee dunked in a rich tea thankyou.
The blinkers are off and we're on a steeplechase to discover the face of immortality elusive, and yet....

Hello Janet! Rich Tea for you and garibaldi for me made from an infinite number of currants grown on the bottom of the ocean inside oysters instead of pearls.All hail the omnipotent dunk.

HEIGHT-RESTRICTED CONFECTIONS OF THE SOUL

Shortcakes. Shortcakes.
What are they short of?
Ingredients, say I.
Butter, sugar, flour.
That's all they are.
In that order.
In proportions 1:2:3.
Bake for 30 mins or so.
Allow for expansion,
They shoulder each other
As the greased tray warms.
Nothing tastes better
Dunked in coffee.

I don't drink tea.

That would be abbreviated cakes, Siren.
The sort that hover of their own freewill over spent teabags holding tiny, ignited lighters and singeing slippers.
