Kitbag of Words Jul 2023
becalm, bestill, bequiet…

yes, a singlet. a singular mannerism
the language permits to adjudicate
the required emphases of the
urgency of a command, plea, a begging
bequeathed bequest and a request in
combination, with one exhalation,
these portmanteau, allinone, smashgrab,
blending of two words, to advise herein,
that we bring our kitbagofwords of
poetry to ourselves in order to

becalm, bestill, bequiet our kindred souls…

Shut  up!
     Just shut up!
Sew up the lips
Tear out the tongue
Shut your mouths
You have no right to speak
You have no idea
What do you know?
Shh
Be quiet
Please, not now
Your words are useless
They distract from my thoughts
My attempt at feeling every word
Sensing every thought and sign
Is disrupted by you
So please...no
No speaking
Shush.
