Like shoes you’ve outgrown that scrunch your toes and squeeze your heels


Like shoes you can’t fill, that trip you when you run


Like thorns on a rose you try to pick


Like eating pure sugar when your body craves meat


(And charred throats of their speakers)


(And froze the throats of their speakers)



Just give me a few quick

word tricks so I can get back

to work.


Every word matters


Your words are not your own

And tasked them with as many tasks as there were days until they would return



Your own words aren’t failing you.

YOU are failing THEM.

And she tasked them with as many tasks as there were days until they would return


And tasked them with as many tasks as there were days until they would return



were her own


were her own she could walk


were her own she could walk had all the colors

of the rainbow and the magic of music

Practice 1. saying what you mean and 2. meaning what you say 3. without being mean when you say it: Match your words to your thoughts, feeling and

intention Honor your words as your bond Grace your listener with words that honor them
