Silvia’s Voice
By Carol
Fondiller
a large round balloon of
sound
filling the sad heart with
warm
full notes
a petulant god said
why should they have all the
fun?
the goddess
said
you need her heart her
soul
to get you through the
never
ending songs of praise of the
flawless falsettos of feathered
angels
you need her to get you
through
the boring Hell of
endless
Paradise
she’ll come up here and rumble
through your choir with her
contralto
and pieces of heaven will
shake
loose
down to savage
Earth.
They need it down
there.
