Art by: Tinka Boukes


*************


Words


 


Animal vent
Their pain and anger
In every sound and key
From roar to yelp
From caw to hiss
With every
Modulation
In between
But our words
Remain the same
In the mouths
Of pilgrims
Or of adulteress
Gardeners or thieves
Holy ones or good ones
Gambling chance takers
Lepers and poets
Each of them
Needles
So sharp
And defile

words have the power to embrace or defile our sense of being ... you speak honestly and openly of words that have gone astray ...
