Judy DeCroce
The Keeper-The Listener, who has nothing to be sad about and everything laces sacks of sound safe in his clasped hands holding all words that fall knowing time’s exhaustion, finds hates and loves by words left blooming into silence He doesn’t say but keeps the words filed safely forgets judging the sighs, the shouts, flying words falling heavier than when said— given once then forgotten by everyone but The Keeper who listens and stores for those not yet born.
