John Grey writes


YOU DID NOT ALWAYS LIVE ALONE

all the sporadic sounds
of the house
vocalize presence

the radiator
is not just a radiator

but someone who once occupied
these very rooms

who exposes the heart
to the ear

the feelings
even in the fingers
to everything beyond touch -

a rattling window
stops just short of embodiment

and a rustling curtain
near enough
puts flesh to bone –

and something is leaking

            not what
            but who
