Is anyone listening? (a poem)
2024-05-01

I write it on paper,
type it into my phone,
share it with the world,
and feel utterly alone.

everything is here
for but a moment
like a whisper
half-spoken
nearly existing
vanishing
in the soft light
of a new day

Scents of countless delicacies combine.
Enticements abounding.
Sounding china and silver sit atop the din.
Conversation flourishing.

The dream lost,
unraveled, unwritten,
to aether went,
in a moment forgotten.
Eternal the cost.
