My ear

I came to see you. I did not come  to see you gone. You’re gone. And now you, my ear, are filled with silence. I fret. I feel no echo. O: none. No air. I have only ever  been an empty page. I have only ever been  silence, transcribed. And now you, my ear, now even my silence  is lost on you. I came to see you, the micron came for an audience with a parsec, for an absence  with an echo. And it was. Good.

I am sorry for your loss and i must say this is amoung the most intresting poems i have ever read on the subect of loss. When i loss someone close to me a felt like I had loss my best mirror of me. The one that always made me feel better about how i looked. The one that always smiled at me. Again a very unique and orginal poem. One that hits so close to home

MAH, You came to see me? And I was supposed to be sitting here, constantly keeping the glass cold and the head on the brewski, for . . . days (that’d been alright) . . . months (did that) . . . years? You last posted a poem on June 06, 2012. I “left” in January of 20
. Sorry I couldn’t hang in there. :) Love ya, my gifted Aussie friend. Good to see you’ve written something. But since not only a rat but his ass, neither, cares about this chap MSS, if you’re gonna write something, make it relevant to the rest of humanity. Yeah, I’m sure everyone knows a poor schmuck who disappeared . . . but you can be more universal and relevant than that. Again, love ya, and . . . I have written one poem since January, and that an anti-poem at that. I'll post it for ya, and you can come back in 2014 and read it. :) Love ya, MSS
