VOICE
I asked you
begged you
not to listen
to that voice
but even if you
did not summon it
you let it ring
in your head
something in your head
told you this was the song
the dance of life
music of
our very existence
and not the scratched old pressing
of a foghorn jamming
with an
air raid siren
drowning out
everything harmonious
there
might have been.
