I didn’t go anywhere
I just followed the noise until it fell away
And there was no distance left to close

I was speaking to myself
I kept talking until I couldn’t
It was only noise
Last thing still connecting

I kept talking to keep something alive
My voice filled the space so I wouldn’t notice

It kept going
No one there
The sound stayed long after
I didn’t stop
I just stayed inside it
I knew it
Still
I kept talking
