Vivo

No, the stress of college has not done me in. I am still alive! Alive, and sorely lacking in time. So many, many apologies to all the blog posts I've missed, and a poem!


Silent

The words dance and tangle in my mind
fighting in an eloquent way
to escape. But I cannot say them
say anything
without sounding so
young
and clumsy
and hopeless
and silly
so I let them all keep talking
and stand a half-step back
silent.
