She whispered
in my ear.
“...whisperwhisperwhisper...”
“What...what
I can’t hear? ”
“That’s because I’ve put
a secret in my voice! ”
she whispered.
“If you could hear it
it wouldn’t be a secret! ”
“Tell it
me again! ”
I beseeched.
“...whisperwhisperwhisper...”
went the wordless words.
“Ahh...I see! ”
I said
hearing
nothing.
