Listen Closely
did you hear that
I heard something
while you were talking
a whisper hiding in your words
it was a sinister shush
but when you are silent
all I hear
is my own breath
can you hear breathing
down your neck
waiting for that something
you must hear it
it doesn’t come from you
that much I know
that’s why I have to listen closely
hear what it has to say
it comes from behind me
not from you
but with your words
sometimes
it moves a curtain
in a room
where there is no curtain
shh did you hear that
you must have
it was so loud
like a book falling of the table
onto a cushion
like the soul
leaving the body
at the last breath
no don’t stop breathing
I can’t stand the silence
did you hear that
