I hear

only what I want to hear

And I still hear you

not this nothing
this burst of still
which surges across me

I hear existence continued
the
in and ex of breath

I hear blood
and the strumming of your heart song

I hear you

not this senseless space created by dark
matter
where no light will shine

I hear
laughter and light
and the way you could make me smile
on tough days

I will keep listening
beyond the dirt piled high upon you
press my face to the soil
and wait for words
for the
in and ex of breath

for sound

your sound
the uniqueness of your essence
as it washes over me


Take your silence away
I have no use for quiet
fill me with song and sound
and your days and your past
and you and you and you.
