when i get the courage…

the words slip soundlessly
finding their own tune. each one

filled with tension, bursting ready,
twisting, talking, waiting
to be plucked or pulled,

strung together. they want
to be felt, to be touched,
like water slipping through

fingers. embracing the soft skin
edged around this text
unformed and unforming

in the recesses of the brain.
the shadows long in the afternoon
and it is time, again, for eating.
