Obliterating

There is an energy to a weighted word

I should remember this

Instead they came out of my mouth like water from a tap

No drip

All gush

flurry and noise

Things that made no sense

Yet they landed light and cheery

Floated away to the tree

Fell like a leaf

They carried no meaning

Returned no grief

Because if I stopped to think

To speak right then

From my vast interior cathedral

Those two words or three

Of unbelievable magnitude

Would drop

Heavy as a boulder

Obliterating

Everything

So I

Who is not a hugger by trade

Hugged all and sundry

To hide the shade

And naunce of any meaning

Left like a light switched off

Into an impossible evening

Because fleeting

Was the only possible response

To the feeling

Of suddenly being lost
