words

It s a little young, but beautiful to watch
it’s a love fresh and
alive
a bit wet behind the ears
complete with a run in the hose
and blood red polish to stop the snag

he makes love to her
in the words to his songs
and she spills poetry out on paper
like the pages are burning from the
back of the book and the only thing that’ll
put it out is the completion of her manuscript

to sit in a room with it
the creativity swells
and turns
history is born in
a matter of words.
