Into the Wild

Loneliness, if only you could talk

What would you tell me?

You are not a person who could say

Hi, hello.

To talk back to me

Yourself you betray

But what if you could

What would you tell me?

Would you tell me to look

At the shadows and

Imagine their real faces?

Oh, shove me away

There is no gravity

Only the intensity to frolick

In your silence.

But if only you could talk

You could also then listen

And capture the spirits

Of the tides, of the sun's rays in arrows.

But I will have to wait

Until you talk back

And I will wait even longer

'til I grow tired of you--loneliness.

And though voice you do not have

You have the perfect memory

To remember that I

Once asked you to talk back to me.
