TALKING TO MYSELF

"What is there left
to say?" I mutter;

existence 
is incurrence 

of impression (viz: 
of debt).

*

A bit 
far-fetched, but it 

feels good 
to be called 

as material witness 
to the voiceless obsessed; 

to next spring 
and last winter 
colliding with each other 

and hopscotching birds 
that seem to disappear 

around the corner 
of the Earth; 

to the hide 
and seek 
of rivulets 

which traipse 
through mud 
like hieroglyphs. 

There is always something 
new to read, however 
crude or tenuous. 

No wonder 
this attention can 
never be spent;

this duty to desire 
can never be absented; 

this ache to ask 
questions can never
be addressed.
