i wish i was a whisper
a breathless burning desire
to be a fleeting thought
pouring from the lungs like liquor from a flask
through the lips of some beautiful creature
and dissapating into the air
to be inhaled by a passerby
to be a whisper
a breathless burning desire
perhaps a secret
or just a mundane expression
to live in someone's mind
as a thought, a single idea lodged deep in the spinal cord
