If blue
Could choose
Then how does blue do
If air could breathe
then would we
If walls have ears do they hear;
And if air flies, then why can't I;
If all be said, this I say do, be true;
NO wonder then this is why I'm blue;

he walls have ears, they tell me secrets,
Of mornings unseen and laughter forgotten.
I press my palm against the cold plaster,
And feel the echo of a thousand footsteps,
Some mine, some others’, all overlapping.

 

I reach through the silence with words
I do not speak aloud,
Hoping someone, somewhere,
Will hear me without hearing.

 

A shadow passes the window.
A smile from a stranger,
And for a second,
The world feels smaller,
And I am not alone.
