Beyond Hearing
the sound before
you whisper
movement of my hand
in air
intimate
as skin
impersonal
as a cat’s stare
-
snow
Two A.M.
a drop of honey
hangs on navy cloth
close enough to lick
far enough for wonder
a suspension of light
that waits for dawn
to melt into my hand
Written - Unheard
My brother
showed me music
quavers bunched
like fists
that would hammer
ears and piano -
I saw the notes -
did not hear
the pain he wrote
but could not speak
