Silent Reader
I know you are here
in the stirring of tranquil air
disturbing the dust
awakening despair
why do you wander these pages
in stealth quietude
softly breathing breath
into shadowed solitude?
I know you are here
in these halls of disuse
that clatter and chatter
with long absent muse
why have you come
after years of dead days
to measure my bones
survey the decay?
~~~
I know you have gone now
and left me to be
for the dust settles 'round this
tome of misery
