When The Words Slow attrition leaves its mark As if a hollow; deep and dark Words are tatters, crevice keep Water runs, abundance seep Fingers strain through mind’s debris For when the words will come to me Some windblown sand left white and dry Well up the caverns but a sigh Emotions toil to stabilize For when the words fall from my eyes As fate allows time’s requiem A moment spent; deduce and sum My roil a river, pent up to pool Deep waters where such sands bejewel Articulations seem to pale When the words so often fail Copyright Kkh 7/30/09 |
