maybe if i
could
        e  a  t
all the words
then
i would
know
know
know.

at the fire
the words
we coming fast
time shifting
s l o w i n g
smoke billowing
and i
breathed them in
wrapped their
essence around
my mind.

but
the words were
temporal
quickly moving
and lost.

but maybe if
i could eat the words
i would know.
