I spit out the bulb of my voice
And it grew to a flower
A daffodil streaked with Blues
With leaves like piano keys.
I spit out my voice
And it grew to a huge thing
A birth like Athena
But from my throat.
My warrior's cry
Is a wave of sound,
Pealing like a bell
Through wires today.
I thought the bulb was withered
Being flung at death
And galloping over coffins
But it's arching toward the Spring.
Clear like crystal
Prisiming with sunlight.
What an amazing piece of poetry. Wow! This reverberates down to my bones.
ReplyDeleteNice, CC. Never underestimate the power of words and sounds spoken or yelled.

Often times when things are ignored they have a life of their own. Nicely Cosmos!
