Voice

His voice is beautiful, poetic, unlikely as a haunting.
It reminds me how mournful it can be to get what I was wanting.
It turns the most lively of child-sung songs
Into decades of aging compressed five minutes long.
This voice, its sweetness of youth growing weary
Sings the spirit of someone who hears the world clearly.

The tone drawn from him wells up into me, into poetry.
