We could try

by Alex Caldiero

We could try
to teach each other
our private wordings,
but with what words?

Or we could seek
a common denominator
in the number of our bones
or in the stances we take.

And then again
we could keep
that ancient solemn vow
of silence.

  1. "I am ink and flesh
    I bled the words you read
    A book without a cover
    So don't judge me 'till it's over"

    Alex's performance Wednesday night took my breath away :)
