Voice Lessons

I've been beaten before by silence.
Old wounds are healng in the riot of my mind
and in the thunder of my feet on the ground.

The grizzled scar tissue that remains
is the conviction~
the dust that rises from the dance.

Memories are the reverberations
of second thought~
of knowing better this time around~

of choosing noise over nothing,
song over silence,
action over acquiesence.
