Description
Soft whispers glide rampantly,Disordered by the sounds,
Rumbling from dreary caves,
Echoing mistakes.
It’s impossible not to crave,
To yearn, to distinguish,
Tiny…blending voices,
From the masses in the caves.
Small bodies propelling,
Smaller sound,
A subtle hush,
In and out of unison.
Coarse. Gentle.
Electrically smooth,
They hum through the caves.
Distance
And a shake of metal.
Sprawled across undying floor,
Thrums with the pattern of it,
Vibrations meet the steady beat.
Locomotive, steam powered.
Tunnel-Bent and compass bound,
East from the city,
To where the whispers rest,
Conflicting against its harsh vibrations.
“Hello…”
“Hello—Hello….he-lllo….h…e…llo”
Whispers reverberate and reply,
Clouded by the train bound east.

I don't get you. Or Natalie! The both of you!
You're stealing all the universal talent you are.
