how to get away with murmur 

open cap, tremble pen
barely move 
your jaw or chin.  

mutterwhisper under
breath, ink
-cantations and syllabled 

spells. breathe in, scrawl
out small. em
-brace your shadow’s 

thrum. scribble some.
invite a star
-ling to join your hum.

In April, we poem.

    I love this so much. Your rhythm gift astounds me.

    The title and first stanza are my favorites—and the word “starling.” ❤
