Aphasia - For Liesl Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

Aphasia - For Liesl



one day you
woke to a world

that spoke only
in images

in your mind
colourful birds

sang, soundless
as a tangle

of dreams.

as you slowly woke

you heard
down dim

corridors, as through
closed doors, sounds

that were still
open wounds

that needed to heal
into words.
