Ear Itch

Sorry, scratch that
I could not hear you
Properly
Say it again

Water ripples in my ears
Wavelets form around my lobes
And caress and glow
In a sinking

Sensation 

I hear the absence of pulses
Past
That spoke and retorted 
Little white lies and lustful
Favors

All and forever an illusion
You wonder
I say welcome to my world
We are merely a Salvador Dali
Painting

Colors and sanction
In pinprick words
Inverted speech
Body language only imagined
Through the no replies
And foggy distance 

I will not ever
Hear your voice again
