Linda

Linda are you ok?
Why is your voice muted?
Is that tears i hear flowing in your voice

Linda are you ok?
Can you fit a smile?
On a torn face?

Can you chuckle?
With swollen eyes?
A cracked skull

Why are you talking to me?
Have you been to the doctor?
Linda don't cry
Tomorrow is a better day
Whenever it comes

Linda are you ok?
Run?
Dont run Linda
What if you run and never stop?

Linda don't hang up?
Talk to me so long
Who is back?
Where are the kids Linda?

Are you ok?
Linda?
Linda, are you ok?

I wrote a poem

I wrote a poem
For the day when I cannot write no more
When the night silence falls
For the day the ink dries
When words like rivers vanish
And ears that listened
CANNOT BE SEEN
