agnostic
as far as she knew none of it was real
neither the birdsong nor the calls for unity
neither the sky nor the rage burrowed in her neck
neither the hope she risked nor the ashes of her dreams-
the ones she hid underneath her tongue

“Hope she risked”
“Ashes of dreams hidden below the tongue”
Beautiful and powerful and concise!
dreams being held under the tongue is so potent. I love that image.
