Rani Turton Biography

Silence. Long moments that stretch into years.
Restrained words, sometimes gaps where names should be.
Words, prayers, songs, imagination inflamed by memory.

I walked down that lonely road
That sinuous, torturous bend
You know how I hated
The cold, the distance, my thoughts.

Shining so bright I can hardly see
The sunlight because of thee

To warm me within your space

A carved metal key, in my pocket hidden.

And secrets that lie behind that blank facade
