Listening to You/Me I was prompted to republish an old poem I made of my impressions of Stockholm.
Taking an aimless stroll
Through these tacit atmospheres
I gaze about aloof
Near throngs of people by
Slowly making headway
An halcyon wanders into view
A solace embraces my senses
That wavers through and by
Along noised urban voices
People sway to and fro
Intersecting between spaces
Leaving only hollow voids
Seized by their loneliness
I’m enjoined in their silence
It’s a gentle ruck all around
Smoothly going in a haste about
In a boisterous stillness
Lulling back and forth
Leaving me nearly deaf
In this crowded isolation
