I lost some words
till someone said
go back to where you last saw them
never saw, just heard
in someone’s head
stuck in the throat like stored phlegm
spitting it out
no doubt they shout
louder than I ever did
But they didn’t get rid
of the guck that was hid
swallowing it
deep down
Into the depth of the heart
among buried blart
and that’s where my words
were found

I lost some words
till someone said
go back to where you last saw them
never saw, just heard
in someone’s head
stuck in the throat like stored phlegm
spitting it out
no doubt they shout
louder than I ever did
But they didn’t get rid
of the guck that was hid
swallowing it
deep down
Into the depth of the heart
among buried blart
and that’s where my words
were found
Words have a hidden effect, take care how you lose them
