Dear Language,
.
You lap and you list, cuddle then feint,
Bubbling brevity, excruciating plaint.
Bobbing and weaving-
in nimble dance,
Liquidized knowledge,
Seeping in chance.
A ship with no anchor,
Adrift amongst stars,
Splashing and crashing,
Lyrical abattoirs.
A sultry sensation,
A broken alliteration,
Silence in spaces,
Beget longing in phrases.
An ability to rend,
The creativity to shape,
On the tongue of the common,
Language to sate.
.
.
You are wanted.
R.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
