keep this song ringing in December 26

keep this song ringing in your ears.
what will you reach out for?
when in absolute silence
someone speaks, speaks in a language
highlighted by streams of past, cluttered, milk
splattered all over the earthern floor.
handles broken, no wedges, no folds in the curtain.
how will you take your position on the stage?
light is holding still every little floating particle,
every shadow, every feather flying,
floating, searching for a place to land.
