The words float by

The words float by.

Like bright, foreign birds.

I catch a feather,

a few scattered verbs.


The shape of the sound

is familiar, yet strange.

A hollow space where meaning

once held its range.


I grasp at the air.

It was fluent, I swear.

Now just fragments remain.

A silent, cold prayer.
