in time
when words
no longer
flow
no longer
gift
but fight
to be
what
they truly
wish
to be
yet lose
miserably
both battle
and war
and fail
to work
their breath
into
my soul
i ask
only
to be free
in spirit
and flesh
and bone
or else
to die
…
for
…
mind
will have
failed
and
words
will have
fled
and nothing
will remain
but
blind desire
thumping
like a heart in
a gaping chest
…
and i will
remember
not even this
