Hush


The whisper,

it slips off their tongue.

A white mist that smells

of cigarettes and 

morning dew.

It’s sticky

like a humid 

summer’s evening,

but chilled

like an icy breeze

ripped from

the frozen seas.

It is not tethered.

It is not bound.

Rather, it floats,

slowly tumbles,

and twists.

It demonstrates its 

delicate power

as it pronounces 

its strides of purpose.

A purpose

that is only known

to the lips

that drew it.
