I Heard Nothing

I Heard Nothing

A stream of pictures
Still, captured moments
Drifting by
Somewhere

My bed is the lawn
Softly jagged, cropped
I drift away
To dreamland

The pictures
They are talking here
I see you
Living through everything
Calling out
To me, like you always did
But I heard nothing

A tear leaves my eye
The last, ever
Trickles away
Salt-water

It’s been a while now
What were the last words?
What was it you meant?
I heard nothing

I read what you wrote
Yesterday, then today again
I read it like I do, of you
I heard nothing
