Dim

dim
the sounds of life
start to grow
faint
from ears
that used to listen
but not anymore

not anymore

not

any

more

this cadence
of fading echo
lost in the vastness
where memories
slowly become quiet
slave to the concept
of make believe
in worlds
where figure
stands
against sunset
its background

wondering
why

there was such
an absence
in sound
within a world
that no longer chose
to speak
