A closer ear

The story
of the hands that tells
how the rest of the rest
between tangled fingers
is lost to the white on the bed

the light
in the eyes
already far beyond
that extinguish as a lightening bug
smothered in the morning haze

the whisper of a voice
that reaches not further
than a closer ear
writes word after word
memories into the soul

of those who want to listen.
