You heard me call.
You heard me speak.
Whatever happened
that
you didn’t seek?
Help
with all that’s wrong
makes you sad
makes you weep?
No help will come
If
we do not know.
No trouble solved
when
the answer isn’t seen
the question asked.
And
you sit in the midst
of what
you
just don’t know.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
You heard me call
I didn’t say words needed
Not yesterday.
All was lonely, all was not right
You heard me call but turned away.
Words stung, they torn away
A facade built up way before today.
You heard me call and laughed away
The sights envisioned for tomorrow
Created just today.
I have stopped, I call no more
For words must be by someone else
It’s not my work, not anymore.
