Straining Poem by Josephine Lauderdale

Straining



I close my eyes and listen
I listen for the colors
And my hair feels soft

I strain to hear the voiceless shapes

I take notes
And listen for what brish to use
Not too wide
Too narrow
Too long or short

I listen

Perhaps I should not strain so hard

I long to seperate the voices
To hear them
One by one

Writings on the wall
And all

I am not listening anymore
Not right now

Try again my friend
