i am alone now
with the sounds
their odd voices
coloratura
the earth is tired
beneath me
it is stilled
and as silent
as its core
i realise i have not wept
for a few weeks
dismayed, am i
human still
i listen now
for other sounds
beyond the now
the now is stifling
too needy for now
i hesitate to dream
alone except for words
and they say nothing
