Poem Number 23062
i whisper, my voice as low as limbo,
---chandler
but you hear me. every part of me, my
---chandler
ligaments and tendons twanging, instruments
---chandler
of a nervous orchestra. i don't know
---chandler
how you hear me. every part of me, my
---chandler
broken prayers, unbeliever's covenants
---chandler
of flesh and rushing blood and bloody show
---chandler
giving birth to you. every part of you, my
---chandler
tiny baby, apple of my eye. do angels
---chandler
have to earn their harps before they join the show?
---chandler
i whisper, my voice as low as limbo,
---chandler
you hear me contracting and contracting
---chandler
who
---chandler
who
---chandler
he.
---chandler
