Crushed metal and sinew
doesn’t make for a very good
breadbasket;
full of holes, all my thoughts
have fallen through.

Now out of words
I look behind to retrace my steps
but the trail has been cleared
by the caterwauling word thieves
that inhabit my brain.

I am lost.
I do not know where I am going.
I do not know where I have been.

I dare not move for fear
of stuttering over previous utterances;
but stationary
is dying.

Backtracking is not an option
and emptiness in my breadbasket remains.
I must look Above
for Provisions.

The Way is taught
and learned Word by Word and I
proceed with precision
faithfully fastening
each breadcrumb
I am provided
to paper.

what a lovely poem...

Now out of words
I look behind to retrace my steps
but the trail has been cleared
by the caterwauling word thieves
that inhabit my brain.

Me, too...
wished I had written this

well *smiling* this one almost didn't make it to paper, after my car accident, my memory is so bad that, this morning not 15 minutes after the conception of this thought I had already lost it, and when I tried to backtrack I couldn't get to it...and I started bemoaning my loss of words...and lol...made it back to the poem after all......provision from above *smile*

I am lost.
I do not know where I am going.
I do not know where I have been.

I dare not move for fear
of stuttering over previous utterances;
but stationary
is dying.

From the desolation and despair of these lines, you transition to an ending of hope... excellent work!
