Poets feast on words
Words rolling off our tongues
Guarding of languages future
Turn the language coin over
asks yourself, what does
American language breed?
What seeds grow in the dark
corners of these fields?
Gorging on cliches
“You killed it”
“ Guns blazing”
“Battle ground state”
“Target audience”
“ Drop dead gorgeous”

Words as things
to be cared for like:
putting water in
the dog bowl,
opening the door when
someone’s hands are full,
stopping to listen even
while rushing.

Language meditation
Words breathing in and out
What words are worthy
of our breathe?
