Pantoum Echo
As I scream into the bottomless pit.
Echo! Of my voice comes back to me.
My heart rings as the repetition hits
My ears see my voice which I have screamed.
Echo! Of my voice comes back to me.
Again I grin at my "hello" remark.
My ears see my voice which I have screamed.
As I call to myself from the endless dark.
Again I grin at my "hello" remark.
Can I catch my voice as it come speeding by?
As I call to myself from the endless dark
Again an echo, to catch I'll try.
Can I catch my voice as it come speeding by?
"Good-by" I scream as "hello" hits my ears.
Again, an echo, to catch I'll try.
To catch an echo, I can not, I fear!
"Hello" I scream as "good-by" hits my ears.
My heart rings as the repetition hits!
To catch an echo I can not, I fear!
As I scream into the bottomless pit.
