(memory/repetition/inversion)

I. (memory)

Sitting in the same room
I discovered my voice. Eighteen
months of the blue light and
broken strings, a symphony weeps
below me, the serpent sleeps.


II. (repetition)

are you still there Jack?
are you still there Charles?

I talked to her today;
she said she still loves you.
