Use Your Inside Voice

12:23AM Oct 12, 2008 in category The Arts by George W Frink

By Glenis Redmond

Down the dark tunnel of throat
in the threaded jungle of larynx

what if what is waiting is not humble
like a lark in a darkened cubicle?

what if what is waiting is perched
on the breath like the ragged bark

of a crow? Not with a small cry
but a crimson caw bleeding into the horizon

like a terrific song filling the hush
with lungs, flared in full wing.

Back to Four poems from the North Carolina mountains

I love this - great imagery, assonance and alliteration, and not a word too many.
