Honor holds her head high.
Hear her hallelujahs,
her humanity,
her hope.
Hatred howls his heavy heart.
Hear his hubris,
His horror,
His hurt.
He hesitates.
Huddled, hunkered, humorless,
He hems.
He haws.
Honor hears him.
Hoping, healing, hearkening,
Humble.
Human.
Her homily,
"Hie, head here."
He hears her.
He heeds her.
Horizon, hill, house,
Home.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
