he asks her
as they sit across from one another
at the cafe
when can speech be silent?
and she laughs
at his philosophy
when you think,
but it doesn’t make it out of your mouth.
he asks her
as they sit across from one another
at the cafe
when can speech be silent?
and she laughs
at his philosophy
when you think,
but it doesn’t make it out of your mouth.
Who is this goddess
of speech?
tongue lashes
fierce.
Who is this goddess?
whose words soothe
broken hearts
Who is this goddess?
creating the universe
word,
by word,
by word.
longing
to hear
the sound
of one’s own
voice
