love and voices

 
            imagine
                         that
all you ever knew
before you were born
                   was
         all you ever knew
   
  warm murmur                  
rings                  
float light                     
smell dark             
SPIN!

love and voices             
tight                       
bright loop                  
sleep.                      

 
liquid language      
lips   lids          
languidly      HIC!

   
  i
could tell you stories
could tell
you
i
 
    but             
know i             
know i now             
know             
it is             
i             

who             

needs             

to             

learn             
  to  
listen
