I Can Speak
And now I can speak
With words unwritten
Because you listened
Word by word
Yesterday I spoke
With written words
Because you watched
Me Step by step
And I mimed to me
If I should or not
Swear my spirit
But how by now
Tomorrow when I storm
My love from the struts
Let loose your words
Spoken or written
Mingle our breaths
And single our tongues
Come to me and rest
Side by side
