words

before

words

are kept

within

small bodies

of matter

where they

become

dots of glitter

dusted

on the tongue

like grains of sugar

like white sand

like powdered snow

the syllables

roll

like waves

into space

floating

in the atmosphere

that is here

and before

the letters align

like stars

that reach meridian

they twirl about

unencumbered

by echoes

of thought

or sound

or placement

there is no purpose

of being more

of being less

there is no intention

no imposition

no implication

unmolded

they just are

TL
