What speaks to you strongest, the written word or the spoken?
—
Absinthe
Lips part to inhale your scent
absorb your taste
until you become liquor
absinthe in absence
It is a deliberate act
this devouring of your space
your outline
your presence
gone.
but it is the space of you
I fear most
the void you occupy
your potential to be
By far, the spoken word spoke to me the strongest … words pouring out of my laptop in the silence of a chill room … beauty.
While I love voices. and Twyla’s is very, very lovely and evocative, I prefer the written word which I can take at my own pace and savor over and over again. Though your words whispered in my ear would be preferable.
Always have preferred the spoken words . They have an intimacy of a voice.. a person behind them that the written word lacks .
Voice can totally contradict spoken words simply because each one of us perceived it differently. A sweet soothing one could sounds harsh and mean to another. So I prefer written words so I get to choose the voice to go with it.
