Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Leading Without Meaning

there's the sound of your voice in the background
it plays like a guitar strumming the night
and much like a groupie i listen
as if i had never fallen for the illusion
hanging onto your every breath

but when i have to admit
there's nothing in it for me
on and on i continue
to sink ever lower
in the void of connection
hoping you'll be there
to save me from drowning
and in my direction
throw me a buoy
