Part-Time Preacher

(by Gub, 27th of December 2020)

For me

You don’t exist 


You are like a folded shadow;

A part-time preacher

promising a  sermon

That never comes


I listen for words to lighten

the dark

For some noise to deaden the echo

Of my own voice - but no chords are 

Struck.


I am feint with hunger for sound 

Unhinged by my own interminable guide track.


When will you speak.


What noise will you make, amidst the clatter of my tortured thinking.


For if you voice a thought 


What will I answer back....?
