Your long silence
You could be dead.
But, so could I.
Awake alternatives a stately reel
in quarter time. The fiddler
switches to a dirge and a
rotating paceline parades
through places I have lived.
It passes your door, pauses.
You do not emerge, not even
for the cymbals, not even
for the hurdy gurdy man.
