Take Words By the Hand
Love to take words by the hand
and spin them like a carousel
Lift them to the ceiling
and as they trickle
from my finger tips
fall freely
bash and bump
intertwine
join and
separate
Freedom as a dog
who looks as if hes never ran before
frolic in
the summer wet grass
And as the letters hit the page
Form ideas with no lineage
Take a word
that grasps the paper
and holds for dearest life
and just as quick replace
with a family derivation
Paper and ink
joined in union
be gentle
you hold their offspring
in your hand
