Foulke’s Voice

Christina Kollias
Magritte. Le Cri du Coeur

 

You leaned into

your cracks

numb.

Surrounded by voices

like old stones.

“You will fall!”

“You’re falling!”

“You fell!”

Did you?

Cloudy loneliness

permeated the cold.

Gray distorts the horizon

always.

No one noticed the exits.

Neither, did you.

Was it early?

Was it?

“Here they are!

The sources of virgin water.

In your deepest cracks.

Look!

The depths of the soul

release rising suns!

Walk with them!”

An old voice

shows you the way

like fresh wind.

You woke up.

You dared.

 

It’s you,

always you.

V. Kush. Flight of the Sun
