Ink

Release these lyrics spilled in ink onto bright white sheets
the lines of black forming words flowing through the pages quenching literal thirst
Curving in cursive, explicit and elaborate
gathering weight to break down dams built by the reserves of man
To be read in subdued silence
for reflections in quiet meaning

Words that remain long after the covers shut
waiting to open a sea of words
from the river of letters formed under stormy circumstances
