Words - Sunday 21/08/05

Words.

There is no gift so precious
To me
As words; I find it easy
To get drunk on words.
On short words and long ones
And complicated ones.
I like words that sing and dance
And which burn the page they’re written on.
Words can say so much and
They can build a barrier so high
It is unclimbable.
I can hide behind words, set up
A smokescreen to hide
Me
From you.
