A Proclamation - Revisited [23 Years Later] Poem by Mike Barrett

A Proclamation - Revisited [23 Years Later]



Last night
The heavens held me.

I embraced them
As countless times before.

Again tonight
They've absorbed me -
Have forced me
To write these words;

' Cosmos,
Take one millionth
Of a second.
Silence
Your incessant H u u u u u u u u u u. '

' Listen to me. '

' I still love you! '

' Did you hear that? '

' Know it! '

Back in 1982 I, now an Eckist, reviewed the original poem and changed the line, 'Your incessant Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.' to 'Your incessant Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.'
