Where are the words
to say what can not be said
the words behind the words
like life before it happens
like love before it is
like thought before it is
everything
Omnia ex nihilo fiunt
the words behind the words
unspoken unheard
like rain
in a cloudless sky
like thunder rolling
soundlessly through air
your mouth your tongue
your teeth your lips
you breathe that air --
Speak for your life!
just so yours words
become wind
endlessly echoing
through every day and night
like drops in a cave
you laugh and cry
you understand nothing
and everything
You say everything
and nothing.
You pray for rain.
