into words

sometimes a full stop is forward progress

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 2 months ago 1 min read

i just gotta

be able to

put it in

into actual words

get it all down

maybe not in

one fell swoop

but down down

deeper than down…

draw it from

from its own

formidable selfish decay

an alternative to

from and with

the inimitable delay

and once more

and once again

into the fray

and once more

a resemblance

a former life

state not far

from actual grace

not a parody

no satirical bent

or slight lean

make it right

keep it real

let it breath

let it feel

let it tell

take the holds

smooth the corners

tuck the folds

every word is

- a story

every sentence is

- a life

every page holds

that itself opens

yet another day

yet another tomorrow

fresh bright alive!
