Empty Story
Are these just 
 blank words
 ringing through the
 deep emptiness
 in your eyes?
 
 Or are they things
 of substance
 that penetrate 
 your mind?
 
 If minutes were words 
 and seconds my voice
 every hour would be
 a story.
 
 But the silence—
 the vast, colorless silence—
 paints the future for you.
 
 And words fall through 
 your sight in a shroud
 of silence.
 So you can’t hear them.
 
 And words speak to you
 from behind the silence.
 As they fall,
 they join the story 
 and altogether
 we end.
