Figure of Speech
once i could speak beyond tongues of men
the tongues of angels more true
than those tongues of devils and liars
people need to execute actions
in poems or bodies will feel no need
to read words that exist in the head
hearts beat. slowly. maniacally.
unless i am wrong and adverbs
live only in the real world. really.
while dragging dew off grass
over an hour near a bed of roses
i too effervesce
