The Disconnect

I tread lightly, here,
as if I've forgotten all the words
to every song we knew--
was I foolish then,
was I too connected to see the disconnect,
was it all, nothing?

I tread lightly, here,
silent, studying the imprints
of souls, ghost-visits
that brush up against each other,
gesturing this way
and that, but signaling nothing.

I tread lightly, here,
but in reality
I'm submersed
in the still-echoing sound
of your voice--
and it's madness,
but no more, and no less,
than loving you.
