it has been
days
since i
have uttered
a word
now i sit
waiting for
the phone
to ring
announcing
a return
to unwanted
reality.
my jaw has
rusted shut
a bear trap
forgotten
left to the
elements
i have lost
my ability
to speak.
a simple
contradiction
after spending
so long trying
to he heard
and ignored
my vocalization
has stuttered
to a halt.
it has been
months
since i had
anything new
to say
and i have
stopped checking
for a response
stuck in this
unwanted
reality
of decreasing
returns.
but the
sparrows long
for more
desperate prose
from the
rusted trap
of love in
the rigors of
tetanus.
