Elucidating Questions

That’s not who he is anymore

Playing over and over like it’s sitting on my eardrum whispering it straight to my brain

Like dust which just flew in

It waits for the antibodies to kick in

But they have been off duty for so long

So the words keep creeping like a song

Like a song

Covering it up with sounds

Just another sound

To keep the ones from whispering so softly so loudly

Proximity erased the volume control

Some settings will have to be turned on over and over and over again

And so he’s within me without me

And that one thing was all I needed to feel whole again
