With one word aloud,
the illusion is broken
as the echo fades.
So deep, this still well,
that a small sound is strengthened
and seems so much more.
But echoes will fade;
and in the gaping silence
words do not survive.
The illusion is
that there is one who listens.
Without sound, who knows?
What use is speaking
in such an empty cavern?
My ego needs this?
