I have lost the alphabet
in the face of a stranger
this secret surges inside of me
lips conspiring to keep it down
teeth flashing only the moon
in quick slips of desperation
there is an ocean of words
breaking against the shore of my tongue
but they have lost their footing
and I swallow them whole
I have lost the alphabet
in the face of a stranger
but I will wait to tell them
in the face of a stranger
this secret surges inside of me
lips conspiring to keep it down
teeth flashing only the moon
in quick slips of desperation
there is an ocean of words
breaking against the shore of my tongue
but they have lost their footing
and I swallow them whole
I have lost the alphabet
in the face of a stranger
but I will wait to tell them
found the first line scribbled among old papers, decided to flush out the rest.
