Poem: Murmurous

 

Murmurous

 

in this maze of schedules and worries,

your murmurs soar with unsupervised wings.

you defy the glut of wheels

trapped at right angles,

to sing, the wind is still free to swoop with merlins.

 

call my heart.

eclipse the cube-crawled streets,

their honked, fake caterwauls.

hurdle wires, grids and volts.

skim over frozen facial waves,

those stressed pedestrian seas.

 

one murmur

exceeds the braggadocio of the city.

the arrogance of the limousine.

the vanity of a cathedral.
