“Word”
Inspiration Piece
Tête – a – Tête
By Kathleen Finn Jordan
Response
Words are colors, are shapes as they cascade from the mind
And land on surface others
Fresh green, cool blue, red hot urgent
Affecting as they catapult forward into the space and mind of others
Sticking in their singular shapes and becoming a new life in the hearer
Deeper in the listener
And like feathers they cannot be retrieved
Cannot be unsaid
Inspiring love, hate and other emotions
Words carry feelings and transmit them
Like arrows from a taut bow
Piercing, and bleeding into other words of
Reply, understanding or rebuff.
Words need to be guarded carefully
Thought about and served cool
Lest they hover like unpleasant drones.
