A god awful poetry block
Hey
Listen
Where did my words go?
I looked for them under the table
Under my tongue
Over my post it menagerie of references
I found them lounging on the terrace, where I'm not allowed to go
Whatever happens tomorrow? There's a creek in my backyard, in my dreams
I'm afraid of me. But getting back to my words
I don't have them, anymore. I cough them up like flower petals
Bloody, and sore and non existent
I hear the same song on the elevator loop
I do those same dishes
And I don't have my words to describe me something new, won't you find me
Here, trying to find my words
And vocabulary
Possible connotations, obscure slang
An almost desperate desire to fit in
An amusement in improving. It vanished like a pet I forced to be tamed
Like the buildings wet, after a meek shower rain
There are a whole lot of children out there, some want me to come down
How do I say I'm mute, only repeat the same sounds? The table's empty
Bodies laying around in bed, a morbid interest
In finding out what it could've been
Well
I'm famished
After these small attempts
I've no words to live by, can't find the intent
