When all the old words became no longer useful
she went at them with knives and scissors —
her desire for  a new language
more powerful than the tidal pull
of the moon, more resonant than birdsong.

  2. T, I also know that call, how the need and desire for a new language can be so deep, such an insistent and beautifully simple compulsion that it can't be resisted. It's been a delight watching all the lovely things you've made and posted here. xo
