Rattle Tongue
I look at the bottom of a hole that
remains unlit
inside the ants are talking about me
silence around, it's it's easy
to distinguish the voices of the clouds
and in this silence
I think of the shady silent shot
reserved behind my back
most honored!
why don't you speak
br/>so I can flush you out
rattle tongue
spit in the mouth of your brothers
maybe the sun is shy
doesn't speak to the wind
about strange hidden fervors inside himself
while the sea is livid
it always hangs under the sky
talking about it is useless
and in this silence
I think of the shady silent shot
/>reserved behind my back
most honored!
why don't you speak
so that I can study you
rattle tongue
spit in the mouths of your brothers
why ¨ don't speak
so I can flush you out
rattle tongue
