Drip of bright
In the overwhelming nothing
Lick of light
Under soul-emptied breathless
Undone night
Through the blood-curdling silence
How do I know if anything’s there
How can I care where I can’t go
How will you believe the unknown deep
Unsaid word
In the jabber-scream hollow
Inhale stirred
Under silt shoveled righteous
Its not heard
Are we ever listening
I can’t touch
If I can’t feel
And it’s too far
To understand
Who’s there
