Literature Text

there are days when words are all I have

words sliding letter by letter from the
end of a pencil, turning blank white paper

into pieces of me,

pieces that can be packed away
and forgotten

until they’re unearthed in dusty
shoeboxes and yellowed notebooks

where someone will find me

when the words are all that’s left
