The Face That Never Spoke

by The Night Voice

Original EveryPoem Studio house-voice poem.

My sister sends a video of me saying words I never said. The mouth is mine. The pause before the joke is mine. Even the small lift of one eyebrow. Only the sentence is a stranger. I watch myself become evidence against myself, then call her and speak until she knows which voice is living.
