Saying the Word
Did you just say that word!
Stretch it out to ‘good’ and it’s still bad.
We should stop labeling the wordless
or make the word ‘God’ so small
that it lives silently
upon every taste-bud of the tongue,
but don’t let that smallness escape
to speak,
for then again the subject
won’t be worth talking about.
