Flowery language describes just about nothing. Im not sure if my inability to read this is a me problem, but there really isn't much of a story at all to work with. Way out there and not pleasant to read.

the inherent horror of silence seems to suggest that humanity requires some form of interaction with each other/the world in order to survive, an optimistic take coming from a horror story.

This is the sonnet Silence and not the short story, but it is a beautiful poetic work and it right up there with his best work.
One day I will get ti the short story's or fable called Silence as well!

This is one I'll go back to, just so I can get a different meaning from it each time.
