a sudden silence (for morton feldman)by Brian Leein my life a sudden silence what do you change? and now why not change? or if you listen why not listen? are you changed by listening? * what is time to fill with? until it's over now sense like smoke rising but never risen or if before you change I find you and you are you and I am other * once like a storm ending again and it is written again like a world and again with barely any pressure on the string as the first time again the first time again as the first time a wound a wound indicates * and now again a sudden silence worn paper thin between us or a silence containing neither answers nor questions like a storm ending as if it had never happened or cold and dry like between friends who speak no longer |
