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

Is self betrayal

But what if you could

What would you tell me?

Would you tell me to look

At the shadows and imagine their real faces?

You can shove me all you want

But there is no force sealed in a vacuum

Only the intensity to frolick

In the sound of your silence.

But if only you could talk

If only you could also 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

Until I grow tired of you

Nonetheless

You have the perfect memory

To remember that I

Once asked you to talk back to me.
