ROCK FENCE (Sonnet)

I do not want your words: they are the answer

To the questions I never asked or posed.

I am the one who plays, and you the dancer

Performing songs that anyone composed

 

And yet we know by heart their sound and beat.

Try to listen to me: I swear I'll try

To watch inside the words you will repeat

And understand the meaning you imply.

 

In her dark voice (and she was ill) she stated:

"We are alone, when living, when we die"

These were the words of someone who was fated,

An answer to your answers, her outcry.

 

The offspring of two lonelinesses, I am the consequence

Of rocks and stones around me, in a permanent fence.
