Words Are Enough

Celebrating the simple

Here are some words I love:

Heft
Graceful
Smeared
Aura
Muscular
Nimble
Purr
Jostle
Flint
Poignant
Raw

Neutron stars
In four letters
Dense with
Beauty and meaning

I find excuses
To roll my tongue
Around their contours
Songs, poems, blogs

But why the camouflage
Why dissemble
Let’s celebrate their panache
Without tacky embellishment

For once,

Let them serve us
Alone,
Read ‘em and weep
Or sigh, or smile

We can join the dots
Colour-in
Fashion our personal backdrop
Do the hard work

For once

Take a moment
One moment
To celebrate a word
You adore
