When the Letters Bleed
you chew the words
and the letters bleed
what you say makes no sense
the vowels run down the chin
the consonants look like crumbs
and spread out on the floor
I'm almost giving up on communication
I hear what you say
but I don't understand anything
we have two universes here
in one of them you rule
living in the world like a king
in the other I feel like a sewer
with my ears that accepts everything
