HEAR

I am losing my hearing.

My ability to recognize

what you're saying

what you're talking about

is diminishing

more

and more.

Yours is a white noise

I am unable to understand

a muted station

a foreign film.

I used to get you

without looking

without losing a beat.

I could listen

and I could know.

No more.

Now, I am left

lacking ears

to hear your muttered utterances.

I have nothing left

to understand you.

I don't get you.
