All words

Are good words 

all language is useful 

even in the hands of poets 

and fools though to tell 

the two apart sometimes takes 

more than words 

and more than a day. 

Sculpting a thought 

into the sands of a story 

where the trail leads through 

the valley of commas into the darkness 

of the nouns of an empty mind, 

where the words rush out 

like a desert thunderstorm.
