Paris, TX

If those halls in that place
I called home at the start, 
that particular smell that ached
right along with muffled choir 
vocals and pipe organ music,
equally mystical and subdued 
like soft rains at Summer’s end-
If they are as potent 
as the motion I’m making 
at the now, the one 
now past quickly by, 
what is it then to stare
into things that are always 
echoing. Clinging to dreams 
of locating patterns. 

You can only listen.
