Where Are You?
Sometimes words sit screaming inside a chasm
asking, “where are you”,
like a nightmare intimately breezes
from a cage fashioned for anyone
it recognizes first.
On the coldest of nights you can see their pain
in lines that make you close your eyes
for reasons
that you may not want to know.
Running takes you nowhere
when words scream out “I want you”
then entwine themselves
around the flesh
of your pen.
