words are roguish creatures,
like leprechauns or elves,
with tiny little feet
they march, sure of themselves
fine in morning papers
they jump right off the page,
strutting and parading,
their readers to engage
ask them to say feelings,
expressed straight from the heart,
they shuffle little feet,
refuse to play their part
when i’ve pleaded with them,
they’ve better things to do
than sit upon your bed
and give a hug or two
they hang about in groups,
sullen and shifty eyed;
they sidestep entreaties,
sometimes they like to hide
at times, there are no words
when what i feel is loss.
i grope, i struggle;
instead of sleep, i toss
how, then, can i express
the things i want to say?
i send my love, my prayers,
so many miles away
