Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Back Talking

Who cares?
Is anyone out there who cares?
Is anyone out there?

This abysmal echo – 
it stares.
The void from peak to peak
talks back.
The scream never hits bottom.
The voracious valley never speaks.

Who cares?
Is anyone out there who cares?
Is anyone out there?
