leftovers
constraints past
strangling now
leftover voices
repeat repeat again again
silencing need want desire
passion
passion in life (of course)
passion in words (right here)
wanting to scream shout
spread wings wide
fly
soar
swoop into embrace
of the world
of words if not flesh
instead stumbling
words controlled unfree
even on screen
( let's not even mention
reality, however grim
dumbgagged by always always
searching … for … the … right … word
or any word
at all )
eyesight fades sputters
resumes blurred with noise
diffused disconnected
hangover of a life
mostly
unlived
