In the dream, you are far away as the thread of horizon
And voices always sound waterlogged and gentle.
This stupid space and dull flickering room is full of
That murmuring voice swirling in the air busy entertaining
24/7 customer service calls, indistinguishable
Sounds and incessantly fighting against silence.
Hello, how do you hear me. Hello and hello and there can be
No respite in the dungeon of our minds as we sit and listen
And talk till our lips turn into the curved dried up rivers
Of a satellite photo. This must be a fever dream.
I am always at arm’s length away and there’s a dozen
Conversations but I can only hear yours calling
From across the sea at the end of your line, straight to the
Paper cup I hold beside my ears, pressing to decipher the
Distortion of years between me and our childhood
And the hundred voices telling me this is a bad idea.
