Words

 

after so many words,

so many poems,

so many speeches,

so many lectures,

so many ideas,

what is there left to write?


My words

become arrows

or darts

or even bullets

when I'm armed with

my imagination.


My thoughts travel

in the depths of space

among distant galaxies.



My words occupy a space

where thought cannot travel

the distance between two ideas

between birth and death

between east and west

between sadness and laughter

between the ideal and the real.


My words

paint a world

wedged between dusk and dawn.
