Echoes

                                       Not a whisper, don’t make a sound.
                                       Shush listen, can you hear the pound?
                                       Now the echo that brings it back
                                       From the hollows deep within lack.
                                       The rhythms beat and overlap
                                       With a steady rap-a-tap-tap.

                                       Reverberations off the walls,
                                       From the canyon dug by the falls
                                       And the river flowing through it
                                       That eroded out the deep pit,
                                       Resonates while even asleep,
                                       Coming into dreams from the deep.

                                       Ears cannot evade what they hear.
                                       From any quiet they appear.
                                       There is no escaping their beats,
                                       Not awake or upon the sheets.
                                       The drum taps out the empty tune
                                       In the sun or under the moon.

                                       This is the beat from emptiness
                                       Echoing throughout the darkness.
                                       The hollowness of the absence
                                       Beating with a steady cadence,
                                       Into the ears upon the cliff
                                       Filled with the thoughts, if only if.

                                       The echoing heartbeats of he,
                                       He that’s lost in the tapping sea.
                                       The high waves pouring over him
                                       Taking him under limb by limb.
                                       The echoing beat that misses
                                       The beat holding all the fixes.
