empty

empty of understanding...

when i say i am stone,
i am not stone, i am stone

when i say i will river
i do not river, i just river

when i branch at tree
i am not branch, but i am tree

when i say of she i dream
it is not she, but it is me

these are times my vandal mouth
should be sutured shut
before someone sees
these broken words i bleed

soon, no one will call and read nothing back to me.
