Jonathan Knickerbocker
You fill me
Empty solitude
Rational because methinks
A word mentioned
So that we might hear
The echo,
The afterglow
To and fro
In and among and
Between these six walls
It’s not unlike racquetball
Within the halls of conversation
And comfort
Dialectically joust and gesture we may
While the idleness that is the day
In a series of seriously serene images
In life—the interplay
Keep momentary stillness
And a sense of timelessness
Count your breath
A death rehearsal
