Voiceless.

"Your hands: less dirt doesn't mean they're clean." -Sunparlour Players/



Smooth your feathers.
Contain your wings.
Quiet the shouting ones.

Making the world habitable.
Ironing out the surface.

What is it in the air you cannot still?
I taste it:
The damp soil in that brisk wind
The ever-pressing
The present-tense
The Pressure's presence,
Declaring on your behalf.
