There Is Something Inside My Mouth (2)

there is something singing inside my mouth
but i keep my mouth closed
i decide when shall the opening be

when shall i hear this little thing sing again
in the open

for now i have closed whatever is it that opens
that sings

it is time to mourn
to be silent
to die
