alone with a word or two

 alone with a word or two


there’s no going back

i have burned my metaphors

cast off from the onomatopoeia

the raft of analogies has been dismantled 

becalmed are the psalms in my sails 

the sargasso sea spins the flotsam

and the jetsam words 

the malapropisms have slunk

the personifications have sunk

the alliterations were the first to sink

the depth of my problems are imponderable 

the height of my folly likewise

the rubicon has dried up

all idioms appear idiotic

anagrams are oxymorons

the word signs are toppled

i am lost to at sea

listing and listening


now that i have the invisible ink

i will write the unseen


bring your own lemon juice
