The Bloody Words


A new day brings the

challenge of words.

 
I can’t make them

work the way I want.

 
They’re being evil to

me. They’ve abandoned

me.

 
They are not conveying

what I want.

 
The silence is louder

than the words.

 
A phone off the hook,

a deserted farm house.

 
The desolate hillsides of

a fire ravaged countryside.

 
The words aren’t there.

They’re fighting me.
 

Maybe I’m just too worried

about money and love.


Or just hungry.
