Not Just Any Words

Not Just Any Words

 

Let not these words

Be confined to

Shelves drawers and attics

They are far too grand

For that

And such a fate

Would only serve to

Confound and complicate

Such matters...

 

Nor let them be

Weighted down or bound

By shells bells padlocks chains

Prejudices or muted palates

Such words must be

Held aloft and aired

For they truly do belong

In clouds and cathedrals...
