Word of mouth has it that certain sounds
Can enliven the silence of comfort
Like a jolt of juice from a defib - honestly
For example, take the sounds that escape
From a surreptitious glance or leaning
Into an other
A recitation of remarkable stillness that whorls in the ear.
The greater the distance, the louder the impact, the longer the reverb.
And then there is the breathing
Like aspirated consonants corralling enough vowels to precipitate a word
Or two. That's the solution. Mark my words,
Instructions unpronounced can make a marked difference in interpretation
Take these words from me
Mouth to mouth
