Find a place you feel comfortable and do it.

Purse your lips together     teeth parted     tongue

holding the weight of the roof

of your mouth. Inhale

 

                                        release.

 

 

Find a place you feel comfortable with ghosts.

 

Rumor has it you might wake spirits

this way     this talking

how the dead talk     not in word

                                                         but sound.

Find a place
