Hush Your Gums
Keep it quiet
keep it secret.
Never grant neighbors
to hear of it.
They already attempt to listen
through paper-thin walls
as it is.
They are metal detectors
bewitched towards us for gossip.
Expecting our lives
to be valued as dramatic.
Or they’ll force
alienation upon us.
Only,
I enjoy silence
past midnight.
When they sleep
I pirouette in the street.
Living marvelously
without them
sticking their
intrusive noses in.
About Hush Your Gums
Tackling a large variety of personal topics and experiences mixing between storytelling and poetry, Hush Your Gums is a perfect continuation to witness Sinnamon's development, maturity, variety and sarcasm. It is also a great introduction book to his work as it is an easier read compared to his previous anthologies Oceans of Ink and Trapped in Words that are both rather dark.
Hush Your Gums is available to buy now.
