Inside Voice

Down the dark tunnel of throat
In the threaded jungle of larynx,

What if what is waiting is not a humble
Lark in a darken cubicle?

What if what is waiting is a ragged bark
Of a crow perched on the breath,

Not with a small cry
But a crimson song

Filling the hush of the horizon
with lungs flared in full wing.

—Glenis Redmond
