    swallow
    He

    swallows

    his words, 

    slow

    sap.  

    rough 

    bark, 

    lips 

    bleeding.

    Another good poem! I love this bare bones stuff that you are doing. It is like drinking some cool mountain stream water.

    Ha ha I know the feeling. Ill considered words fly free like a well cast line, but when they have to be swallowed, they go down like fish hooks : )

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
