Our words


After Psalm 139:4

We work with words,
speak them, shout them,
murmur them, shape them,
play with them, use them.
Before a single word emerges
from our lips, before
a single word is spoken,
before a single word touches
our tongues, before a single word
is thought into existence,
we know it, wholly and
completely. We know the words
that come from our heads,
the words that come
from our hearts, the words
that come.
Each of them.
All of them.
