Berry-Picking
I’ll start with something safe
and learn to use my words while blueberries
grow to become their name. Blueberries
are red and such red
they are actually arándanos
so I can move on to
danger and word what I can’t do. I
can do this. I can
do this and this is done.
Once in love with one word the end
is lost to an ending. A shift. A particle
repeated in separate particles
until senseless
they are whole.
Bloie yagdesh are the words you offer
for me to bite into something new that was
already mine already you already blue.
