Replying to a comment on:
Due Consideration (Free verse) by Dovina An urgent whisper
rises
strained
I hold it back
hold breath
Could it sound
or only crack trying
To restrain that unborn word
might forfeit all
To give voice, gain too much
and what if that whisper isnât âNoâ?
After due consideration
I ignore reason
Better to take whatever pain
release breath
and thereby know
