Let me speak


             Yet as I my position my pursed lips

             yet as I visualized the words, phrases,

             compounds, and hanging ends

             sounds synthesized on teeth

             grunts and labial stops


             Yet no voicing


             No script telling of the pain

             no script that can be written well enough

             filled by a philosopher of pharmacy

             a pill to pop the top to my honesty

             top off releasing the questions

             this box was a stuffed crust of your

             suggestions
             the fears and feelings I’d been floating in

             flagrantly


             Buried deep beneath the words

             I wrote today
