Near Silent Whisper
Sorry I have been so quiet
Near silent and in a muted disarray
Structured dissimilarly than how I have been
It is a famine by design
I starve in silence with fist clenched
Knowing it is the first of two
My city crumbles and rebuilds
I know walls once sturdy will be sturdier still
And then sturdiest evermore
But still these days of (re)construction
Drown out my voice in any cohesive way
May you hear this whisper though
This whisper of brighter days
With hollowness reinforced
As crutches are cast aside
Of struts relocated
So they might be solidly on cornerstone
And a ground that can be called home
I hope this suffices
A day where paper is paper thin
But I do not yell, nor do I tear it
Instead I shuffle on as I have and yet anew
Grateful and seeing the blessings I have here
That might pave the way a little smoother to you
