Author's Note :
Ahhhh! Finally I've done this. This piece was a bit of a personal challenge for me—crafting a “wordic” poem, aiming to layer meaning into each line with unusual and evocative language. Finally, here it is, an exploration of silent expression and unspoken essence. I’d love to know—how does it resonate with you!
divest
yourself of
v e r b a l s
fracture language
into dust motes,
dispersed as chaff
upon unseen currents
convey to me the
s u b t l e s s e n c e
of your breath’s
abeyance
the slivers of
quietude that linger
in abandoned syllables
and the tremor
l a t e n t
in unsaid reveries
let your unspoken
cadences unfurl
in half-light,
refracting your
a r c a n e
truths
reveal the murmur
of your solitude’s
weight and timbre,
tendrils of a forgotten
lexicon etched
upon your bones
decant your
a n i m a
in sparse intimations,
bare, unvarnished
let me trace
the encrypted pathways
of your being
in the intervals
between each sigh
and the resonance
of withheld breaths
relinquish
the machinery of
r h e t o r i c
and let your pulse
become the lexeme
let the hallowed residue
of every silent utterance
d i s s o l v e
through the air
a silent psalm
that I alone may read

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I enjoy the creative form that you've displayed in this. Great job!
• Deprive ourselves of verbals… insults to ourselves, to ignore them from others. (I love that v e r b a l s, was spaced out, its mimicking the effect it has on us, like a shout… aggressive) • from fracture to dust motes, I really like that • I love that s u b t l e s s e n c e is spaced out like V e r b a l s (to also act as a heading. • quietude that linger in abandoned syllables ( oh my goodness, some syllables aren’t pronounced, I love how you summon the pain to be taken away by those abandoned syllables) this poem is too beautiful, I don’t want to butcher it with my interpretation. I hope I am not too far off, please forgive me if I am 🙏♥️ This feels like warm water in the shower trailing down, oh it’s too beautiful for more words to be put forth towards it. In other words I am speechless, and rightfully so, because I feel as though that’s what this poem wants. It needs us to drink it down in silence. Its healing power must be felt with no resistance. I can’t help it when I got to the end, I find I have more to say. It’s like you want us to live a life outside of the physical. Go where the spirit lies, experience from within, far away from the effects that lies without. Enjoying the peace and quietness in the place where they reside, were you guiding us on where to find it?
Oh wow.....you write so mesmerizingly and so lovely. I can't find one thing I would change in what you've penned - it's all so beautiful and haunting in its poignancy.
