"?"

Shallow fading shadows

pass me in darkness

the near silent whispers of voices

I knew long ago

hiding behind my ears

I sit pondering who

I am and what

I have become

unknowingly thrashing in the corner

of the room

the silence makes my ears ring

a bottle of wine shatters at my feet

the blood-red luquid seeping

from within

I am no more no less�

but, no more than I am.
