Dead to Speech

Brian Looney

    Now in tune, numb in tune. Some winsome music for you, sisters and brothers. Stand up straight and tall. No happy, killing formation. Let the bark just do its thing.

    Stand here long, sprout some roots. I dislike the sneaky slivers, but still I let them dig. Let them dive and hook, seeking firmness, finding only space. I watch it all with humor, with unresponsive nerves.

    No belonging, but such loquacity, the dialogues we’ve had. I cannot think of a greater time, or a more illumining one. I’ve never gotten giddy with knowledge, with grace, with emotion.

    I’ve never been dead to speech, but alive with rhythm. I’ve never let myself transform, never pulled out the stops.
