Read by Delacroix

But you got no reaction

Not a single missing beat

In fact the breath was less

Less than a distant tantric bless


So it’s time to stop the reason

The seasons past and full

Her emotions have been gathered

Gathered up for the cull


The breath was not held

Ever less and seldom welled

The conversation was lukewarm

Lukewarm going on dull


And in between the spaces

Where once lay hope and joy

Now, there, in between the spaces

Lies less hope than read by Delacroix


Can this break the bond that binds and blinds

The empty sound to shatter, splatter scattered minds

Silent chords to carve, to cut some umbilical heave

Deceive time wasted, receive tasted hope to believe
