apocalyptic emptiness part 2

 

those strangers you meet

you like a foreigner

in conversation

fill in the silence and space 

of a silence which comes 

even among and above and 

from the din of the broadcasts 

like the drone of the news of the day

the brashness like the announcing of flights…. space oddity

 you hope to escape 

am I seen when they talk to me?

those strangers where I am

a stranger

in a strange land

do they see me 

when they kiss me, 

are they there 

they touch but don’t feel

are not there at all

are they as real as these words on a page?

like the storm you cannot see

has cast us away
