Silence sings, if you listen.
Warning....
earthly frequencies
can be detrimental
to your health.
A deaf girl says she
talks to angels in the cracks
of a wall. Voiceless spirits
calm her.
The twisted spine of a boy
liberates him. He flows away
from the unbearable here,
returning pain-free.
Let go of what you know.
Turn off your bleeping radio!
Your mother was right!
Loud music can steal
your soul from the heavens,
where starry silences speak
to inner ears.
