down into Silence
a ladle into the saucepan
a boy down the well
in search of his dog
you cannot tell
who you are
in the absence
vital systems, pumps
and pistons, soaring
into dysfunction
but this is different
raises rather than slams
listens rather than fixes
your best pitch
and the ditch has risen
to lift the ball
over the heads in the outfield
your last meal
and you eat to fill
your good karmas
your paltry inaction
gorge to gross completion
immense satisfaction
