they opened their mouths
in unison and out flew
a bird launched from a bed of autumn;
a wave birthed of blood dewdrops;
a dance tapped on rain-pelted pavement;
a breeze coughed from a diseased dying lung.
their sounds permitted a story
to be told without words as
small chirps collapsed the silence;
gruff rumbles chewed up the scenery;
tonal beeps conjured machinery;
hummed voice cajoled labor and delivery.
(awed by the Academy Awards program segment
on sound design, as demo'ed by a vocal orchestra)
