Septimus

Laugh, forgotten cries of yesterday.
Sing, the birds have gone
All flown away.

Talk, if words will complete
Fill these empty spaces.
That ring in between when,
Silence speaks.

Watch, let me lay awhile.
Where people surround
And I disappear.

Hear, sounds that won’t go away
Leave me be, where
I am you and you are me.
Alone again,
To take the fall.
