words are
not real

they do not feel or speak
or suck or writhe
or fuck or sigh
or moan
and i
want
to
. ..

[where are you?]

words are not real

but i make
them
devour
me
in your stead

and i impale myself on ghosts.

Impaled by a saint, I love it when you kill me, I know i've fave'd you a bit lately but god dam it, you should read what you write from the other side of the world...you align me.

this..probably means something far different to me than what others are seeing...seeing something dear that's gone and missed...I'm seeing something dear that was never there to begin with...either way, it hit...

ouch....like having tacks stuck in your heart or soul or both; amazing how simple words derive so much impact when used just right; can't help but notice in my post-Freudian weak mindset how sexy this 'sounds': "Fuck/sigh/moan/suck/writhe'...there's more than a hint of sexual connotation going down (oops, excuse me!) heh...but the words are derived more from the pain of whichever experience I'd likely say...and the last line echoing the title is uber-sexay; it's all about the ghostly, not-quite-touching; not quite feeling....feeling! Master of the Succinct, once again, your short pithy delivers...

I can't comment. These words are to close to me. They've been waying on my mind, even before they took shape. Absolutely priceless.
