Still the words
That run through mind
And escape, darting,
Weaving onto paper
Do nothing but stain
The blank white
To match soul

Unsteadily they stagger
Leaving tracks going
To freedom or no where
They don’t say

They listen

Hopeful of hearing

Straining for a sound
To break the unruly
Silence of thought

Ex cons
tructions of chained
Imprisonment in the recesses

What is written will
Lie in cells
Locked….

Keys hidden

Just as now
I am

The questioning torment of Inspiration gone dry?  Or the meaning interrogated for value?  Strong impressions here, Ron.
