Would scare me less right now
Than fear. Fear when the stars don't align
And I'm not on time and I break the rules and step out
Over the chalked lines into the void of things goodbyed.
Starred, starring, as in becoming a solar entity, as in shining, as in on fire.
Proses, as in the sweet-smelling bloodred pretty ones that prickle when you hold them
Too tighly, to close, too detemined to do something that you don't even want to do.
Reverse, as in another poem, another poem, backwards in the chaos released
But so promising. So much can still be saved that we can't even dream.
Songless as in no more lyric blood to spill onto digital blanks.
If I let my hurricane inventory
Loose on the dictionary, I wonder if fear
Would disappear? But even a storm can't be that strong
To blow away my very foundations of thought, unless I was wrong
About the deep-set and the waves and there are still things to be saved
And the silence can be over
Silents, as in quiets, as in the ones who don't talk
Because there are so many things to say
And so many of them are just
