My Words

My Words

The words are

Choked and gagged with a fear

That paralyses and grasps and sniggers,

Fist-like.

A crowd of rushing words

Stumbling pushing shoving cramping

Jammed into a bottleneck where

Nothing can move forwards or backwards ... Stuck.

Just one has to shift and shuffle sideways, to wriggle out

To squeeze through, to escape

And to then lead the others out, slowly, one by one to

A deep breath of the future and all its possibilities.
