NaPoWriMo Day 7: Gratitude and God Start with G

UGH I STILL HAVE A FEVER AND PIGS ARE STOMPING IN MY BRAIN WHY. MY SINUSES  ARE TURNING INTO WALRUS TUSKS. But I did a poem today. Yay! I hope you like it and are in good health.

GRATITUDE AND GOD START WITH G

whatever you call your words of comfort

they are not really words anymore

but sign posts pointing

to a gold violin,

or a mountainous inheritance,

a new girl…

interchangeable forms

emerging like crystal

from the fog of your desire.

Words like “God” and “grateful,”

sometimes erupt from my vocabulary

as souvenirs

from Tomorrowland’s

phantom blessings.

The words as silent benefactors

of what I can’t yet speak.

yooooo what's up i found this on pinterest.
