roll off my tongue
and make every
minute of expression more
meaningful
when the right ones
are chosen
just like yesterday, when I
used 'maelstrom' in relation
to my life
- it was so accurate
and tasted sweet, though
describing bedlam
and though it turned
the corners of
her mouth so far,
so far
south
and now, too
words flow from frantic fingers
like the furious whirlpool;
blind in direction
but certain in purpose
if ever you'd believe that true.
