An Unseen Voice


from the ABC set Poems

An unseen voice
it skims, it slides, touches
overtaking your mind
quietly it whispers
nudging, poking, neurotic
thoughts, you want
to leave behind.

It is veiled, in disguise
you know it is there
lurking in every
dark bumpy crevice
on top in the middle
on a mission to invade
every sensible track,
it burps, echoes, hiccups
just like a child
'I am here, I am here'
but your resilience
is unwavering
this unseen voice
WILL NOT BE HEARD !
