Let There Be - My Voice

METAPHORS OF SILENCE a hopper ekphrasis
it is 
    what it is
without narrative
isolated
    moments
       of figuration
sunlight 
        on a wall
frozen 
        in time

conversations
      of unheard voices
stillness +
         paradox
commune within
the
    interplay of
             imagination
in
studies 
     of loneliness

emblematic
        silences
soundless symbolism
saturated
      with suggestion
soft realism
    of the inner life
gestates

cries 
    on canvas
forever before
              our eyes
juxtaposed
drip
    by
        drip
into
melancholy

an empty chair
      a sad stare

it is
     what it is
