swallow these words
like nothing you’ve heard
chew up the verbs
and make yourself round
by the sounds of the nouns
what would you be
if you could only see
with no words to drink
what would your thoughts think
how could you enshroud
your being out loud
without a language
with which to engage
does speech build a cage
to keep you in your mind
do the wordsmake a suit
that clings, crimps and binds
if all words were lost
or if they never came
would you still mind your mind
would you know what’s your name
LOVE LOVE LOVE this. My interpretation of this is that words are powerful and we all attach meaning to them (of course!) but each can have different meanings creating very different emotions within each of us. Words can limit us (build a cage), or words can create possibilities. So pay attention to your words and the meanings you attach so you get exactly what you want. Thank you J!
