Brown, Rosellen 2005
with Calvin Forbes
Talk and you wonder if that could be a voice.
And you lie lightly, skimming the cream
of sleep off the top of an endless night.
–Rosellen Brown, “In Rooms”

He said, “We do not love by word alone,”
And pulled the silence down around his voice
As though a sound could hurt him. Since those words
Became their own perverse, inviting promise,
She had to smile: “Then what is left to say
That you will listen to, except a kiss?”
– Rosellen Brown, “Sestina for Three Voices”
