Susan Hawthorne #245 losing language


words lost in some synaptic jungle
that is not computing as it should

there are days when I search
and no words appear    none

I know others who have lost
not only words but the ability

to speak them out loud
the tongue goes on strike

old relatives and friends have lost
memories to accompany words

a cul de sac of language
a place of no return

  2. I respond to the realism - yes life runs out. Art to the rescue a culdesac goes round.
