Literature Text

I hold a covered jar of words
that echo silent sounds
which tangle in the concepts
woven tightly all around
muffled in the throat and mind
they clamber in the head
constricting nasal passages
when they are left unsaid
I cough them up and hold them
up against the brightest light
where they gleam with fragile brilliance
though some hold the dark of night
and when I think, they rattle
with the sound of bells and drums
though some jangle and some settle
with a resonating thrum
so many here and scattered there
contained, confined, released
my implausible collection ...
how I treasure every piece.
