Chasing the word

sylviasearcher

 


Words scatter
Rubble into the ocean
Swallowed, broken, dissolved
Becoming more or less

 

Words matter
Hunted out of the wilds
Bound and bled and feeding
No one or someone or self


Words, hungry words
Searching, paranoid, needy
Spat out, crossed out, torn up
Losing. Lost.


Words whisper
Illusions into being
Devoured honey, beautiful sticky mess
Here. Now. Gone.
