Notes About The Poem

notes

Listen to poem:

Layers of Echoes on the Seabed

As the music slips away
past melodies,
the crowds disperse
sliding into long exit lines,
lingering on hummed memories,
layered in echoes of concepts
still longing 
to fool us again.

I'm not sure if pride matters
anymore as we pick away
at the pieces
piled in last-in
last-out stacks,
in the undertow
dragging at the depths,
tugging loose the scores
and scripts embedded
in layers of mud
on the seabed.
