I want to hear my heart again.
\nTake away the silence in my ears.
\nThe unnatural quiet that denies
\nme answers to my prayers.
\nThe words of a child,
\nthe petals of a question
\nflying off,
\nthe laughter of love,
\nthe riddle never answered.<\/p>\n
I am advised
\nthe upper registers of my world
\nare gone.
\nWhere voices fly,
\nthe weep of a violin,
\na woman\u2019s whispering touch
\nat night.
\nLost,
\nlost,
\nchannels closed,
\ndawn clouded over,
\nmumbling that was poetry.
\nSubmerged music,
\nvoices,
\namplitude,
\nthe inflection
\nthat tells its story.<\/p>\n
Now, technology,
\nto coax them back,
\nthe creep of boards,
\nthe fluttering of leaves,
\nthe echo of wind,
\nthe shore that receded
\nleaving me lonely,
\nand sometimes afraid.
\nWhen I listened
\nand heard nothing.
\nWhen I believed,
\neverything had gone away
\nand I talked to emptiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
