Conversation. A weed, naïve and determined,
emerges from a rubbish heap of crossword clues,
shedding letters, leaking connotations.

…And yet.

Every phrase jumbles together, battles for space.
One wrong choice sets them all astray.
I am no stranger to the magic of language, but
is it better to place faith in no word than
risk the power of the wrong one?

…And so.

Ghosts of diction litter my page, leave
vapour trails.

Oh, the memories. Of DLR, of more excitement in the literature group, the happiness for each other - and, of course, the beauty of words.
Thanks for looking in your archives and finding this - it says so much more now, even. I don't know how to say all I mean. :B
