Mute


                Bold Zulu God 
In my dreams 
I see flesh dripping 
Like candle wax 
            Coating my tongue 
      Like white chocolate 
It sticks to the roof 
Of my mouth 
So I can't form words 
           Instead 
I use my eyes and within them 
You see sign language 
Of the heart 

Speak.

dang bro....sign language of the heart in the eyes....that is tight...the stand alone 'speak' at the end is strong as well...

Powerful write, Anthony. Have to agree with Brian...the "speak" packs a punch.

Speak? Preach! You'll never be mute, my friend. You communicated generations in four dozen words. And I heard each and every one.
