“Full”
KS 3/13/12
Arguing your point,
Your voice loud,
My ears open,
Your lips,
My mouth,
Your mouth is empty,
My mouth is full,
Sitting at the coffee shop,
Your eyes,
my hands,
your face,
my smile,
Your mouth is empty,
My mouth is full,
Asleep in bed,
Your breath,
My lungs,
Your sweat,
My back,
Your mouth is empty,
My mouth is full,
Outside, the sun shone bright today,
My words,
Your answer,
My truth,
Your belief
Your heart is full,
My mouth is empty…
The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
