Retort

Come
She said
I’ve got a little secret for you
There’s no need to panic
It’s just about doom

Then she talked

Slowly

But I can’t remember
A word that she said
Just a vision
Of her staring at me

Is something wrong
I said

Of course there is

I’m still alive you see
I still ask the questions

Who answers

No answers

And is there supposed to be

I go on

Keep going on

I

I

I

I don’t want to be

I keep the answers

I am the question
