“Silence kills the soul; it diminishes its possibilities to rise and fly and explore. Silence withers what makes you human. The soul shrinks, until it's nothing.” - Marlon Riggs [https://www.azquotes.com/quote/546843]

Adoration
by Hazel Collister Hutchison (1893-1977)
 
The night has let down her warm dark hair,	
Powdered with stardust.	
 
She has broken the alabaster box	
Of ointment.	
 
She anoints the feet of her god	        
In a passion of fragrance.	
 
Languorously	
She caresses them with the dark of her hair.
