I Could Write Words
that pause a tears tumbling
or words that gods would rip from reality
for none to repeat
words that crumble
under winds slip
Yet i could write of eyeless Yeti's
words that unfurl like a water dipped petal
words of fear
like a shadowed figures
inhuman smile
greeting from the top of the stairs
words planely plain
i always sit at the back of the plane
ever heard of one reversing into a mountain
with a whip of my wrist turn sword
into words
Words that peer from beneath
tear stained fingertips
as another blow lands next to my ear

as the mist just misses
the ink black still
before the grey and the numb
give birth to the static
