Music of My Life:

The music takes a turn in my life
it's sadder and
much much louder

It's a frustrated cord
an eager violin
a weeping marimba
and my voice
travels above it all
but it does not form words
for words I do not have
my tongue has been taken while my voice remains
and so I lament
trapped in my silence
singing myself hoarse
