womens voices

you hear them lament

and you think their voices 

are beautiful and still

too thin


as if they are never enough

to fill the air

to cover the ground

to stand on their own


occasionally there are voices

rising above the chorus

they lift and vibrate

my chords and yours


they speak with an intensity

that makes the mouths of man

speak their words 

willing breaking the bonds


they lift up a storm

and then they fall sweetly

back into the chorus

now that we know
