Heart Resounding

Oh
the sound of your words
like fat cool drops on prairie parch
went through me
like a ghost hand.
You have no idea
the price I paid
for your silence,
or how I prayed
for a few scattered words
longed for
needed like rain
and found myself talking out loud
to fill the silence
left by your heart.
