Broken Poema Requiem

Broken Poema Requiem

Putting empty words

On a blank page sounds

Like a broken silence — 

Echoing over and over again

In your mind

As you decide against them

And try once more.

The first time sounds like

Crackling wood

At a bonfire,

Ash rising in the night sky

Like the words in your throat — 

You spit them out 

On the flames to

Ride them to the stars,

But it all just goes up

In plumes of smoke. 

The next few times sound like

A leaking faucet,

The drips pitter-patter

Like the beat of the song


You cannot remember — 

The lyrics? What are the lyrics?

But the thought slips out of your head

Like water down a drain.

When the words finally

Stay for a while,

They sound a little different,

Like a broken record

On repeat — 

But only the best part.

You listen again and again

Until the words don’t sound

Like words anymore.

You’re left without language,

So you cling to sound.

They come alive now, 

Playing their 

Just for us.
