The words are there, and

they are lost, unfindable . . .


just suspension points.
Expressive aphasia (damage to the Broca's area)

Novel "The Good Apprentice" (1985, Iris Murdoch), chapter 2, part 5

Collection "Unspoken"
Ron Conway Sep 2019
It's transient aphasia
When the bullets only graze ya
And nobody can save ya
From the fog

And you think that it's a tumour
In a twist of Satan's humour
And you feel that you will lose your
Dialogue

Then the gathering frustration
At the failed interpretation
As nobody in the nation
Feels your pain

I know my head's imperfect
I will need some time to work it
It's just a slight short circuit
In my brain
