I am made of words
Small
Important
Sustaining words
Gentle
Nurturing
Growing words
Repeated and related
In stories of another’s thoughts and
Wrought from other worlds
And longer words that catch in throats
And echo in a voice long since
Remiss with words spelled out
And wrong to some
And held from the deserving one
Whispered prayers of words
Flit off the tongue
And gather into clouds of verbs
They rain
They run
They stumble over unsaid words
The ones that wouldn’t come
