March Poems, No. 15


I listen to the silence of the lizard
While my neighbor
Talks about marvels and miracles,
The occult, the supernatural.

I am so concentrated
On the silence of the lizard
I don't hear a word
That my neighbor says.

I notice that the silence
Has an echo,
Yes,
It has an echo.


Duane Locke
