Voice

All I need is a voice. 
To scream. 
To whisper. 
To communicate. 

I can close my mind 
or 
block my ears, 
but still 
I can discern 
the voice. 

It gravels in the brain. 
Forcing me to communicate. 
With you. 
With me. 
With anyone slipping by. 

I'm in a vacuum. 
It follows me. 
Insistent. 
Demanding. 
Forcing me to confront myself. 

My breath escapes me 
across the spaces of distance. 
Razor sharp mind 
dulled by 
inactivity. 

My mind is raw. 
I must stop using my voice, 
my whispers, 
as arrows

It feels like time is

It feels like time is standing still when I read your words


Vive le Quebec libre!
