Angela Marsh is a Cincinnati poet and freelance writer. She has recently been described as a hedonist and is actively devouring this newly appointed title. Since writing poetry is not regarded as productive employment, Angela is currently deemed jobless. She lives with her husband and finds it difficult to make time for anything that doesn’t please her in a selfish and/or abundant manner. There is not much we can do about it…she is Angela.

you spoke
your words are whispers
stealing around
the air
and my breath
soft
cool
filling the space
i feel mute
and your lips
move slowly
trembling
when you pronounce
"r"
a shadow begins to fall
i think the sun is rising
finally
so i cry
don't want the whispers to stop
we're only allowed to do this in the dark
