voice | poetry
By Shannon P. Laws
Must muffle your voice
orgasmic or sorrow
Do not disturb your neighbor
Do not worry your children
asleep down the hall
keep it in
Do not let any know the
parameters of your character
the highs and lows of what
makes your eyes tear
The new corners discovered
within your mind are too loud
