Barely Heard Through All The Whispers
Pray hush now
and listen
can you make out
the words
being muttered
into beards,
through teeth,
across tongues
and over gums
around the world ..
Well then,
be sure to note
each one
of these I choose
to share
with you today ..
Expressed,
handed down
and otherwise
conveyed, that is ..
Between one old
forbidden
lover and another ..
Now barely whispered ..
