the melody extinct

the melody extinct
and here i am
searching for
sound under the
remains of echo
subtly resting if
not nagging like
dust upon my heart’s
surface… unmoved,
untouched, barely
used, an organ
whose tireless
pounding behind rib
cages, never once
heard before… still
i strain. i shall
unmake the noise, and
unravel silence from
your core, restore
the truth from where
glances concealed
you far too deep
from my eyes
