Use Your Inside Voice
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.
