Apparitions

would you if you could
would you pull my voice
from your own throat
would you throw it
to the air, to hear
it echo like it did
when the season
was warm?

would you if you could
would you pull my body
from indentations left,
depressions in your mattress?
would you if you could
would you talk and answer
yourself with my sound
to feel less alone?

if i could I might
I would perhaps
to feel less alone,
to break the quiet,
take your voice from
my mouth, throw it
to these empty walls
to answer the sadness
in my own sound
