One could write screenplays
had one a head bursting with
voices and contacts
with powers-that-be.
Too late for that now, voices
faded from lack of
recognition, friends
changed beyond recognition.
Recognition—-that’s
only possible
now in the cool silences
of singular love,
in themselves voices.
I have only to listen
to stories of things.
