WHISPER

WHISPER

wrote you a poem
not for reading
not for reciting
either

this is sweet, sly
little poem

decidedly
for whispering

straight into
that small, soft ear

breaking into
tiny, petal-like
downward fluttering pieces

every false barrier
every
fourth wall

fall
of Jericho:
their bricks and mortar
seen to
magically
dissolve
