He Spoke Into the Vacancy
He spoke
Into the vacancy
Slow, low
Spoken words
Not at all
Like the chit-chat
We began with
Now words are
Paced
Not raced but
Placed
Like offerings to
The air
And ear
That listens
Listens
First the back-story
Listens
Ah, now
Now
Here
The pain
The poverty
Of the soul
Laid bare
Kind
Of him to
Share
And share we do
The silence
The space
The questions
Again?
Yes!
