Center Word
I draw 7 tiles
trying to build
off of the center word
in this real life game of scrabble
nothing I can construct
from this soul of vowels
no consonants
in my heart
the game plays on
your turn is quick
your tiles better
your heart unscathed
no words to make
to lead me forward
after the board is folded
and the game put away
