LONG TABLE: FEAST OF WORDS

LONG TABLE
L.A. Maihi  2012

 

the words they gather upon this page, like no other theatre stagejigsaw pieces that make the whole
the truth of Io the truth of old
each word a detail in the myth of make
each dash an action of give or take
each dot a planet of where to stay
each capital an idea of this word play

reverse the words and figure it out, this is another time of doubt
walk the line to the dictionary seat
open the pages release the heat
make your way through the maze of tales
that twist and turn with wooly hay bale
end the sentence and conclude the piece
tie up those endings nice and neat

release the words upon the stage, for the human voice to rant and rave
emotions are gathered upon the dust
where sorrow is hidden beneath the lust
the need for greed with greenful eyes
can melt the ice cream covered skies
the words are blamed for the treacherous tale
for we are can run in the wind with sails

so take the time to create a line
of words that lead you all to mine
tis here upon this page we trust
that words will break or bust.....
