All voices
Try to sing a song that can’t be captured
In words
Or melody.
A song that requires more than
Spraying perfume on a foul odor
Or putting a shiny finish on a car
That won’t run.
It is released –
Sung –
Sighed –
On those dark nights when all seems
Dis
joint
ed.
Left alone under the stars
As the cars whirl by –
Like a girl hidden under thick glasses
As she gazes on the dance floor
Filled with what she deems joy.
Alone.
But this song reveals itself in the tears that
No one sees.
Through time –
All voices
Learn the proper control
Of the inexpressible song.
And no one will admit its weight.
Can it ever be put to a tune?
