Echos of Quiet
in the stillness of your last step away from me
and the shivered breath of our final kiss
I feel the depth of your empty space looming
In the hollowness carried by my eyes
and clenched in my smile as you vanished
The bird song has stilled in my ears
clouds have stopped their raining sound
Without your laugh I hear only the echo of quiet
in the chair where you should be reading
where the sheets are still satin smooth
in the stillness of your last step away from me
and the shivered breath of our final kiss
