Poems
Jul 2013
The Previous Present
They were here.
I can see them.
I can hear how they clapped and shouted.
I can smell their vintage scent
I can feel their dead presence.
I can taste their attention in the
Midnight air.
Performing for no one,
performing for them.
Speaking at my loudest
So the dead can hear.
The Dead Audience, more alive
Than the one that breathed.
Energy flowing through the veins
Of the ones who were deceased.
They were here.
I can see them.
How they clapped.
And shouted.
