she says she thinks too loudly
& I know what she means. my blood
shouts until the words come
formed deep & rising
in wheals through skin
not all words are mine.
not all love poems
have our names written
in invisible ink
between the lines
but i can dream us there
if i don’t write
i wear the words
or chant prayers
to forgotten gods
in my dreams
***partially inspired by Mari, of the loud thoughts.
Beautifullness
oh gosh, thanks. Glad you liked it!
I love this, from the thinking loudly opening, to the imagery of the words flowing through the skin, to the dream closing.
