HIS WIFE TELLS HIM SHE LOVES HIM
She spoke
like a stone
thrown
into a pond
the ripples of her
((((((thought))))))
spreading all over
his mind
like words writ large
on the air
as if one could
pluck them from there.
Then, sealing it with a smile:
she retreated into silence
closing the door
of her voice
behind her.

I wanted to speak not just of the words said but more their effect on me and how they sank into my psyche and entered my unconsciousness and how they were greeted there by my mind....not just sound but the sense of the sound and how the words won me and owned me....how I was transformed by them and by the alchemy of her love made a better me than I could ever hope to be.
