A LEADEN FENCE

Words wish in words
that
they hadn’t been born
words.
They wish they’d rather been born
steep leaden walls.
And –
after that
they sigh a single sigh which is not a word.

A LEADEN FENCE

Words wish in words
that
they hadn’t been born
words.
They wish they’d rather been born
steep leaden walls.
And –
after that
they sigh a single sigh which is not a word.
