An Idle Brood Over the Ears

The hollow of the ear is never appeased
it peeps and peaks without the owner’s heed
putting the mouth in dire straits
while the body suffers higher consequences.

The mouth closes
so does the eyes
but the ears stay open
devouring every utterance in its path.

Your ears won’t stop hearing
but the words of your mouth can always be cautioned.
