your words can sound
as if you were
on a plane
with sages
who find spirit
in each breath
no matter how small
or silent
your voice can sound
as if a rock
once rolled away
from your throat
and opened a path to
insurrection
your every line of speech could be such
that one hundred years from today
a condemned prisoner
could recite any of them
and gain clemency
from a hanging judge
knowing this
what of your voice
do you care to waste
Dark Matter
