Expression

It's a long way to my face, so keep talking--
I'll get there.

Enjoy your steak.
I'm navigating by sonar.
I hear your voice like I'm underwater.

yes, yes
nod 
put another nickel in, I'll flirt.

Down in my bones there's a voice rattling around.
I live for your expression
if I ever find it.

a 55 for this.

  1. I can FEEL that inner submersion, the slow rise out of such deep solitude and silence. This poem really speaks to me. I love it.
