Wants

A bold appeal.

Pardon this extravagant request, but a listener grows tired of hearing only what makes noise. I want now to hear what moves constantly unheard. Also, I am tired of speaking in the usual way. I want a word to shatter language, that I may hold the taste of its center against my eardrum.

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.
