Harpo by susan donnelly
That's right. When words don't say it,
stop talking. Become beautiful and strange.
The one of sudden arrivals,
announced by a horn.
A faun, seen between trees.
Pluck your thin music, your eyes
getting rounder, face changing
like clouds. And when lies
don't work, even silent ones,
get caught silver-handed,
with everything tucked up your sleeve.
