Poem of Spring

Wordless, almost done
Almost said it — almost will
Words stuck behind my teeth
I swallow what I need
Spring tongue, spring tongue
Tied since the last warm rain
Spring tongue, spring tongue
Say what I never say
Names never said out loud
You close inside the sound
Words stuck behind my teeth
I swallow what I need
Spring tongue, spring tongue
Tied since the last warm rain
Spring tongue, spring tongue
Say what I never say
Let the wind say it
Never found the nerve
Spring tongue, spring tongue
Tied since the last warm rain
Spring tongue, spring tongue
Say what I never say
