Whisper by Christine Anne Borra

whisper in silence, do not whisper to me
do not whisper about them, they will hear you

the lizard tongues of jealous minds
the insecure rattling of broken dreams

mirrors upon mirrors, screens upon screens
drip upon drip, on littered broke dreams

filtered daylight streams as dust dances in
dust stirred from wings as the mocking bird sings

lie still your tongues, with your poisonous drips
do not forget the universe, be Karma

you may bury your head and bury the dead
but your words that are heard will haunt you

remember Peter, his mother once said
do not say anything at all

In Tune Te Kouka Cafe by Debbie Green

The Music Man came today
He filled my head with words
Words with notes
Music notes
Words with words
Literary and large
The Music Man told me things
Things that came from years
And years of
Music Passion Love
Heart pouring out
Pounding and beating
Loud
Boom! across the table
Filling the space between
Us with light with life
Life with sound
High low long
short
LOUD soft
We were dancing as one
In time
In time to the same tune
Even when the beat changed
In time
In time as one
