i rented these words
you may
have to read them quickly
before they are
returned
That void awaits
a warm welcome
for each syllable
back from service
into some warmth
as reward
for years
in our mouths
wet and angry
or loving
or scratched out
on pages or
hammered
into some mind
****** meanings
screampt again
and uselessly again
at the night
at the light
at the moon
let the poor
******* go
i wouldn't
pass through
here as they've
chosen
through spit
and ****
yet here
they are
gifts and pleasures
sweetness and light
tongue tripping
delights arrayed
for our pleasure
