it is
of no consequence
who we give
ourselves to
the light
portrays us
as ghosts
when we surrender
we lose everything
in that instance
even our fingerprints
deny us
only the sound
of our voices
restores us to
our identities
and we
look up
to see
what it presages
just as
our history
rises to swallow us
from below.
Sound of my voice? What's that like? Once I hook myself up to this machine at night... :-)
