vertigo of words

i keep forming words on the surface

but i communicate nothing to you.

The letters sit on my tongue

dissolving bitterly,

expanding my saliva.

They are small feelings.

As soon as I inhale them

I forget their significance.



They are single words like \"move\"

or \"vertigo\" sliding down

my finger tips.

I watch them fall off me,

peeled away like the thin layers

of bark off white birch trees.



I push them to the side

and watch them dissolve into

white noise

reaching a whole new ground.



I am left with this:

I cannot write this

white heat

anymore.
