Garbage
Sometimes, actually many times I have nothing to say
or rather nothing that I have the courage to say.
If I had the courage of a prophet I would say
“I love you all. It is small thing, but it’s sufficient.”
The words would spill like rum, sweet and rich,
from a sober mouth, drunk with a greater spirit.
We worry that what we write is garbage, when
the truth is it’s all garbage, so I would relax
and write, and write, and take the garbage out.
