He writes as if he invented the word 'yearn' Wistfulness and want in every line. It's as though he's been starved of words his entire life And now he's drowning in the dictionary, Gorging on adjectives and language A reformed wordarexic Flooding the pages with need And everything I want to read. I hope he writes forever For I, too, love to feed.
