Cast about for a new love leak
take all the air out of the moment
and shine a light on the last idea.
The whole area of this thought
is boggled and weary
yet I write to you in this state
and expect cheers or spitting.
What is it you’re doing here
does it matter in the least what I say?
I am certain it does not
and the huge space of this silence
the apathy thrown at my feet
gives me a drawn face and emptiness.
I watched as he screamed at the dead sea
and no echo came back
and certainly no answer
I quietly told him no one gives a shit
but that’s okay, just scream
and watch the noise paint a panarama
against the horizon
as it twists and turns beautiful in agony
watch and drink it in
because if ten million people cheered for it
it still would have the same value
and would still be as unanswered.
I put my hand on his shoulder as he slumped forward
we walked in silence to the end of the pier
and looking for the last time at that genius horizon
we jumped off the end
and began to swim.
