I eat words like cheerios
pop one in then another, chew the letters then swallow
d
o
w
n
and feel.
If they are sad they sink into my stomach and create a hurricane there
I am ##sick## and ache awhile
If they are love they climb into my heart
and make a home there
I am full of ^^warmth^^ and smile
And yet sleep comes and they are absorbed into my blood s—-t—-r—-e—-a—-m,
traveling through my veins @ night.
so that when I WAKE UP, I wonder, how did they escape?
Will they be gone long?
Will they come back?
Will they never stay?
Why did they run A w a Y ?
