Words Matter. Words Fail.


Words matter to us
because they are the tools
we use to understand
who and what we are.

Words fail us
when we try to use them
to understand what lies
beyond names.

What Beyond

Here is all that’s here
Echo of ideal
Woods or cave

The best wave
Holds minnows
In its plastic tear

The wok sizzles
A satellite dish
For blogs and wonks

Cup the hand
Scoop up the air
Take a drink

Never know what
You might say
When you find chalk
