Words I and Ii
Words I
The meaning has fallen out
And the words don’t know it yet
They hang in the air,
Heavy with their own importance
Soon they will fall
On their flat little faces
And the dictionaries
Will turn over in their graves
Words II
I coax the letters
Into words
They are hopeful
They want to say
Something
Worthwhile
On the open expanse
Of the white page
They claim their space
Knowing
They are stronger together
Than they were alone
