You brooded at brunchOh Words
Each of us
Each
(asserted, channeling Dr. Angelou’s assertiveness)
Is defined not by the dictionary-eyes of casual glancers
Nor by the information-containing codewords from our fathers
Fallen or otherwise
No
Each of us
Each
Is defined by the footstep-shaped letters we leave for others
And by the blessed word riding, wafting, if you will, on our very next breath
Intended or otherwise
Oh
Only Now
Just fly on us
The breath and the birds
Breath
Birds
The breath and the birds
Fly on us
Just
dic·tio·nary
I needed a prop
You were All I could find
You’ve always been at hand
I’ve forever loved you
As a child, I scoured your pages
And meditated on your wonder
Today, I tucked you under
And meditated on your spine
I’ll always keep you just this close
I’ll forever love you
And my Thesaurus too
