Go

Be gone, you words, 

you easy sluts. 

You come and go

As you wish. 

I wish no no more 

for your charmed light 

You friendly butterflies,

Alphabet symphonies 

Be gone you pretenders,

Unloving mothers 

of my stillborn thoughts; 

Don’t buzz, don’t swirl, do not

Come one by one and silently 

Stand at the cobwebbed corners 

Of my still-less mind 

Your silence is a hoax

A web of quantum tangles

One syllable here and another 

Echo somewhere down 

Memory maps on the dark side

Of the moon. But there you go

Again, you words, you weird 

masters of my destiny 

I speak no more of you 

Pray, leave, be gone, 

You words

Go measure the ends of this

Universe in your lengthy,  

Pithy tales 

One hand, one pair of lips 

One wandering lock of hair

Every minute that I ever 

Lived, now locked in your 

Cruel jails, go, leave words and 

Let me be. 

Go, leave now and let there be me
