The Cloud of Words
the night sky swallows my voice as it trembles.
A cloud forming in front of my eyes
my newly spoken words laced throughout it
The cloud presses into your face
drying cold: your eyes shut
chapped lips drinking it all in
I can imagine your mind forming a response
to the words I never meant to say,
to the words I barely breathed.
My eyes must give all away.
The cloud chills your bone (tongue and all).
please stay quiet
do not be as foolish as I have with my words
because I can see them slowly fracturing you
Your eyes give all away.
