Wednesday

I can hear a calliope . inside the paper walls

she worked as a switchboard operator
in a small cubicle in a small closet
in a corner of the room
they told her that her voice was appropriate
she dreampt of daydreams 
as a fanciful floating trapeze artist
with faint calliope sounds 
somewhere from the back of her mind

noelle maline

I can hear a calliope
inside the paper walls
paint ink pastel on paper
