to lip-sync the movement
of a heart --
there, on the other side,
where no floodlights blind.
Only there does breath prelude
waves more powerful than laughter,
as silence shatters thought
into transparency.
Here, where illusion isn’t praised,
no truth, no flaw is concealed
from the discerning eye.
It is here that I stand,
here to stay,
unmasked
before you.

This is a delicate and beautiful word picture.
E magnifico! Ammiro tua formiazione della parola. Le immagini è potente! Pensai a un ventriliquo. Una splendida creazione!
