I Listened to You

I Listened to You

I listened to you. You had questions
Already answered, misunderstandings
Witnessed as offences, acts irrational
in a coherent world, your world, whole
And true, as absolute as the crisp round
Hardness of an apple, a sphere undivided,
As decided as a sealed room, your room.
No sight of knives or keys,
Or anyone else.
Listen, you said,
Please listen.
