Speak Silently
White walls
book cases
stone cold
angel faces
book spines
calfskin
moonlight
bedim.
Faux fur-
garments
bent page-
parchment
cold floor-
marble
closed door-
startled.
Perked ears on walls,
mask the downfall.
Speak less,
hear more.
Stop the
folklore.
Poison my tea-
full glass, empty.
Their trust, deadly.
That’s not family.
Guard your sole throne.
You are the lone.
Hide in the library,
speak loud and silently.
