Jayne Eggins Poet Free verse

Of a Breaking In the Silence

whisper to me in dark places,
unshackling my mute form


revive the thousand voices,
I have sustained in a forever 
unspoken and formless
so as to be forgotten, 
it was in a night-scape,
the void of sound 
negated speech


I break into flight,
with an oath choking 
on my first cry


I drift on the hair of my nape,
as the weave of my cloth
spirals, for a moment


as gums bleed out 
the rhythm in my shade, refrains


I ask of you,
caress me in a softness 
of mourning,
whisper to me of dark places


for now,
I am a broken vow of silence
spoken in a thousand tongues
