seed within the words

Aug 29

at times there is a seed

within the words

a core of the meaning

i am trying to reach

‘though what is on paper

does not say it as yet

sometimes i can find it

and re-work the order

of the words, or change one

or a dozen to get closer

other times i need hours

or days of letting the words

mewl in my mind until they

sort themselves into truth

or at least as close to it

as i am capable of coming

for the time being
