Elsewhere
You are elsewhere,
beyond where life is lived,
deep in some cave
of the head where only
a faint glow of sunlight
penetrates the dark
and casts the images
of your mind
upon an inner wall.
I call out to you
but hear
only your breath pause
and then the sound
of you digging deeper
into the concealments
of yourself, disappearing
somewhere into the silence
of childhood.
