Reading Borges At The Laundromat

fine-art modern surreal artist catalog

the dead man is not a dead man…

Every life,
a history crafted
from memory
and oblivion.

The forgotten,
misplaced,
and excluded
have a voice.

White spaces
on a printed page;

stillness between
notes of music;

missing children;
cold loves;
dead comrades…

Silence shouts
when we
quiet our souls
and listen.

Stories
we don’t tell,
but know,

saved within
the labyrinthine,
lost libraries
of the heart.
