your ear

Your ear
I see its secrets resounding.
In a tiny cave within
That transfer noise into thought
Awaiting the tongue of a lover
To send shivers down your spine
Its shape so subtle
With curvatures that allow for sound
To rebound
That I get the lock and key to your body
My whispers naughty
Its depth..pulsing vibration
Of a sound deep in the soul
Gives dance its rhythm
Expression to deflect from pain
and violence
Do you HEAR me?
I'm angry
Do you listen?
My heart is breaking
I'm yelling at the top of my lugs
And yet you turn a deaf ear
To the wails of a city
The Dog unattended
Barking wildly in his one bedroom apartment
The child screaming
Pleading for someone one to help
as the wrath of the parents
Comes down with a belt
The hunger pains of a teenager
Whose pain can only be subsided
With acceptance and self worth
You hear but but you don't listen
Your ear has lost its conscience
The hollow of its cave has lost its purpose
Your ear no longer holds importance
