There is an airborne whisper,
busy negotiating a maze of corridors
Heavy with hurtful words
it barely floats above the polished floor
Inscribed in chalk are white lies,
not so easy to erase
A victim holds her ears
her eyes wish not to read
This untruth will echo
until the next is given flight
Blather the shape of a bullet
and just as deadly
Do not give oxygen to
their stories of spite
Hold your breath
and witness gossip cease

Good poem. Excellent use of language. Your work always seems to display an air of confidence which many writers lack.
