Voices
from the distance
Voices
muffled indistinct
Voices
no recognisable words
Voices
an indistinguishable drone
Voices
occasional bursts
Voices
almost understandable
Voices
fading back to the hum
Voices
before words can be caught
Voices
continual endless
Voices
sounds of pain
Voices
images of sorrow
Voices
raised in ecstacy
Voices
laughter to tears
Voices
through the walls
Voices
seeping in
Voices
Then suddenly silence
