when the paper needs to fit in a metaphor
the meaning becomes subtle enough
it breaks all movement of the mouth
but the words never leave
never leave...
it could be a Billie Jean of the century
she cries wolf towards the moon
moon,
and the men hear with their children
and become afraid and accusatory
of the lover and his son
and sun?
but the words never leave
the meaning becomes subtle enough
words enough?
it breaks all movement of the mouth
when the paper needs to fit the metaphor
(fit!)
it can be the Riding Hood of the past
she sighs at the wolf's sharpening
and the pack will hear with their stomachs
will hear?
and they become hungry and sore
of the girl and her love
her love
the meaning becomes subtle enough
when the metaphor needs to fit the paper
it breaks all movement of the soul
but the words never die
(die!)
