Listen to poem:

Dyslexia

Dyslexia 
David J Walker

I recall
	The wall 
Of words 

In jet black 
waves 
of ink

Invade 
the innocence of
paper white
  not quite 
a page

Fear 
	Panic
terror   
Rage

Other words 
smother 
like a thick 
denim quilt 
 

I hide within myself 
	lost
without a guide

a dance
	into a trance
of knowing only
nothingness
