poem post #1

sporadic aphasia

Every time it hits
I figure
this is it.
There’s this rock star I’m into.
He knows the deal.
Every song is a comeback.
That’s what he says.
True. True.

But, listen.
I’ll give you all the trees
the forest has to offer,
if you can tell me this:
If an unheard voice
should
suddenly
fall silent—
