If the you that reads
is not the you that writes
then does anyone really write
only for themselves
or is it that they write
not to be read?

Hold back nothing
ambiguously
each word
falling from you
a drop of mist
in the middle of
a downpour.

Tomorrow
a new word will arrive
packaged carefully
with an exotic stamp
pasted
in the upper right-hand corner.

Small words
on the edge of a sentence
drifting in one direction first
but then taking an unexpected
twist
and leading you down
a tunnel
where as of yet
there is no light.

Holding still
and watching words
drift past me
each one wrong
and worse
slippery.
