Wishbone

July 26, 2022 by Rochelle Del Borrello in creative writing, Poetry

 

There is a wishbone stuck in your throat

it sits lodged between your vocal cords

amazingly it does not hamper your voice

in fact, it creates your voice

 

With every breath, you inhale desirously

ambition to replenish your want for success

 

The Wishbone absorbs your breath the split bones

two halves pluck you chords

not choking just your voice singing

with the expectation of ongoing expression

 

Such is the mysterious awe of the performance

the wish expressed through your voice.
