A New Language
It’s not as simple as
it seems—
to write on air;
make words breathe;
in and out;
inhalation
followed by an aching cry of
exhalation;
to strum music out of silence
from the beating of
your own drum;
a “pish posh” swooshing forth
from a wispy willowy spirit,
moseying to and fro—
from beginning to end;
to the land of deep rebellion.
to give life;
to create;
spawn offspring
onto paper;
to filtrate;
to fabricate
an emotion so as to
be born again
into infancy;
a rebirth of meticulous
thoughts with no name in mind;
a language all of your own:
untaught, virtuous, chaste, innocent,
and yours alone—from head to toe;
intensity beyond any horizon;
it can’t be won.
