Whispers

VWHISPERS

In the stopped moment
Their heads come together
And this frightful awe resides

It must have been the way she pursed her lips
The way he bent to her reckoning

Something there is does not exclude an open 
      floor
Sing one    sing all the illusive tune

At the bus stop
In a crowd
The simple aside drops like an alien scent
      upon the air

Oh whisper not 
Get thee away from this universal frailty

Put it in a bottle
And cast it out to sea
