Words (2007)

words - my salvation
secret harbingers of relief
and release

written and rolling
along this pale parchment
of shaped pulp

words - mystic ciphers
revealing my trapped treasures
buried

suckling secrets
like pigs at the teat
of a sow

rabid, hungry
these words are drawn
from my pen

words - my salvation
making it safe for me
to breathe
