My lips are sealed with
The caulk of deaf ears.
Born for this.
Lessons to be learned as chapters
Turned
Over, like how to read our bodies
Instructions, building muscle
Memories such as
Tools we must learn how to use
Who speaks and who listens
Goes on and off
As breath and tides, rhythm and
Numbers like thoughts sequence
And past tense
Lie in a moment
Between notes.
