Are you listening?
Whispering, breathing,
seething, screaming?
Are you sending love?
Sealed with a kiss of bliss,
Stretched out in limbo
For all to see and sneer at?
You hear me, don’t you?
You, who stands there,
Teeth white, lips pressed,
Eye to eye.
You see me,
And yet you do not listen.
But why talk?
Why write, why read,
Why watch?
To explain is gift.
But a gift you can’t give.
That’s OK.
I love secrets.
I’ll share a secret.
I am nothing. You
Are nothing.
The word is nothing and
The meaning is everything.
Are you listening now?
You are? That’s strange.
I never said anything.
Are you listening?
