Living Words

Breathe life into them.
do what you must do,
just don’t take them for granted.

Unclothe several words at a time,
jealousy is for unfaithful poets.

If you envision
deeper than any dictionary can,
then you are honoring them.

How many times
have you misused a word
knowing you were cheating?


Don’t cheat.
