///MUTE///

 

leaf wings help a twig fly

windswept trees sing lullabyes

i'm sleeping, slipping, weeping rain

an eyeful but no drain

drowning in clouds, soft

my throat in a choke, cough

spit, strain, reach, sustain

i've had enough

 

speak to me in silence

in a muted science

with the quietest signs

cos my mouth is blind

 

my mouth is blind

but you can read my heart

an aroma it tastes and tears apart

sitting so still

my strands look aflutter

can't move, just tremble, stutter

in a flock i'm invisible

mythical, fictional, fixable

crank, screw, alter, undo

missing and missable

i've had enough

 

speak to me in silence

in a muted science

with the quietest signs

cos my mouth is blind
