Stories Not Spoken Poem by Melanie Emikohe

Stories Not Spoken

Rating: 4.5


What's that delightful fun
derived from speaking
somebody else's story,
Regardless of a salary?

What's that fragile fear
of exposing a biography,
which only the bearer
should know or resolve?

Even the priests' memory
holds the private weights;
a library of intimacies,
never spoken or heard.
