She dances through the silences
A ghost on the periphery
A sadness deep enough to hold
Her words tap, tap against me
Like a bird cracking open a seed
With a sharp intake of air
Courage making overbold
I read false witness
But cannot bare it
I can only shout out loud
And hope she hears
“A whisper is forbidden” I whisper.
My heart knows who it wants.
