Wounded Whisper

Soft sibilance departed a while past now; lost in family, familiarity, an indiscretion. Soulless silence interposes churlish crows. The weightiness of strangled screams hangs heavy deafening the two. Whisper; wounded, slain. This or That, Vol 18 Poetry Contest: Wounded Whisper Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh Date written: 24th May 2023

Thank you so much, Edward, for the placement, your kind comments, and for running the contest; this was my first piece of writing for several weeks, a turbulent time.
