I have not the words For my lines, they have evaded me. Sometimes I feel them slip Under the horizon Out of my eye line Alive in the cracks Like the edge of a mirror. I imagine them, on the edge, Their horizon, being lit by The moon and the sun Day and night, passes and scythed letters I cannot remember, sink deep in the Earth, my words, slip In this fog.
I hope I can reach them soon, Lit by the years, and the moon and sun, My lost words under the horizon.

In 2013 I became seriously ill and I found writing poetry difficult. This is about not being able to find the words.
