doing their job
modestly
the words come into my head
trying to cover their private parts
with thick and additive phonemes
so, a congregation in a passage
between nowhere
jostles a chorus, entreats
what sometimes it can rouse
on the other side
of the endothelium
the other side of the magic
carpentry of life
no holes are barred and all is
freedom
modestly
the words leave my head
by way of the mouth
or the hand, each
odd lot takes its turn
