Bilabial

“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.” – Psalm 37:7

Whispers hover above the waters

At vespers in purple light.

Hear the breeze between the willows,

Downy and floating between my lips.

A pause, a gasp, a Selah.

Say to the still, small voice,

“There is a bomb in this heart

Pleading for a reed pipe.

Pan, if you hear us, send

The moon out once more.”
