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 Dave Austin

Daver, you see so much in a look, a blink, and bring it to life for us with your pen.
