Speech of the Mute


 
 
her mind is a chaos
of bright lights and the voices of titans
 
and the written word is the backbone of order
holding up against her storms, 
a pillar of glyphs.
 
their world is a labyrinth
entangled in the faces of their angels
and the songs of their dancers
in a tongue beyond the grip of her chemistry
the spark for their fire engulfs her. 
 
her art is a science
in ambiguity, the preciousness of printed things
mum to the world as they sleep in the stones,
like her, 
alien to anyone but the strangers who dream in color
