I
cold marble
antiseptic gleam
whitewashed world
II
that thing we do best:
revealing
while hiding what’s key
III
still, quiet,
clad in dignity,
and untrue
IV
noise and words are not
the same as
music and lyrics
V
she walks, and
hallways echo, where
once life moved
VI
that one truth
that we never say
dies with us
To share is human:
So small but so evocative!
“noise and words are not
the same as
music and lyrics”
Amen
