To Drown Words Poem by For Matilde

To Drown Words



Small particles
chase light under mountains
nothing is nothing
There was an answer once
But the air leaks now
Leaves rust burying sand
Everything leaving
Turning everything away
From the tide of thoughtful things
Its ceaseless scandal of words
Float
realise the infinite grace
Of stillness

Gaze blindly
steal a moments silence from purpose
to disengage attention from yourself
to drown words in
the thoughts of the sea
Your mind a river
drawing everything to itself
devouring flesh.
