that risk is all there is

He pushes behind the words 
which, awkward, catch 
and turn him to a disturbed 
and fumbling man. 
 
What if it all stops. 
Then silence 
is as silence was 
again. 
 
What if the last time 
he was moved to touch, 
work out in his own mind, 
such limits was the last— 
 
and then a quiet, a dull 
space of hanging actions, all 
depending on some time 
has come and gone. 
 
God help him then 
if such things can. 
That risk 
is all there is.
