How To Love Words

0720.2010

Wait for the note—

then the hiatus between each syllable.

And when they wander,

go tenderly after—

When they return,

let them rest

within the question.

(And if they never return,

love the silence

they leave behind.)

m.c.f.

(Love the words of others tenderly,

because sometimes they are greatly bruised.)
