Poems
Mar 2019
thin
i have been graced with
a voice so sweet
and this voice rings like a bell.
a church bell, to be precise.
i know others hear this
comforting sound.
the words she speaks and sings
so pleasantly
stick in our minds
like the golden honey she
does not allow.
she commands us to ritualistically douse ourselves
in water
as if it were holy.
as if it will cleanse our wrongdoings.
every day is accompanied by her singsong voice
in the background,
whispering in our ears.
and even though this voice is angelic
the words it professes are
not so polite.
this voice is a ringing in my ears
that will not leave.
