at year's end, it is not

 

the loudest

[bang-pop-bang]

that impacts me the most


it's the nicks, 

slights, careless tossed words- jabbing 

a growing crescendo

that knees me to fetal position


on the flip side-

it's not loudest cheers of devotion

but thoughtful & everyday gestures

that tugs my heartstrings
