going back in time
there is a certain silence
beneath the noise
buzzing inside my brain
to get there is a long
complicated journey
something like one step forward
and two steps back
eventually you’ll be young
once again
where silence doesn’t exist
and the noise
was something you sought
from the time you rose from the dead
it is never definable
and if it ever was
you would never be able
to give it any kind of justice
april two thousand twenty-four
