One Little Word

Fears-
as verbal, noun,
or, God forbid,
adjective!

Appearing
in so many forms-
and don’t forget
all the relatives!

But who cares,
their literary bounds?-
when in the night
they burst their bonds,
come leaping on,
a’ganging, a’hunting
and all-ranging
as famished demons!

But if I bring
and release them,
become
or increase them,
surely
it matters well
Who hears and how
And with what
intensities,
I speak
The Word,
to defeat them.

About rjspoems

Exploring being through writing. There is an African proverb that sums up why I write: If you want to go fast, walk alone- If you want to go far, walk together. Come, let us journey together!
