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
So small but so evocative!
“noise and words are not
the same as
music and lyrics”
Amen
