Words are my trade
Language is
My life.
But the words don't
Come when called
They have
To be torn from
My chest; even
Then they're
Fawns stumbling
Through the forest
Falling
Down to the
Topsoil and exploding
Into nonsense.
Poeticism is lost on me,
Rhymes and lines
Grow dimmer on
This page until
The page itself loathes
The ink. While
I myself
Loathe the process;
Loathe expression when
The act kills
The dream.
When,
On paper, my thoughts
Become absurd:
Poetical gibberish
Regurgitated
In new forms
As if
I am
Incapable of
Greatness.
Until
My nonsense
Becomes my
Sense.
My
Taste
Touch
Smell
Sight and
Noise.
Does that make it
Right? Does that
Make it good?
How can I find
My voice
In this junkyard
Of words?
How can I arrange
The junk-dirt-
Trash
Into my own
Masterpiece
That is, if there is
Such a thing.
