David Taylor - Words Are Not Enough

Words are not
Enough.
They make Treaties
Write Novels
Cover Newspapers
Make Signs
Advertise
Lie and Conceal
Reveal Truth
Make Distrust
Seal Fates
Invigorate Debates
Words Invent
They Speak Into
Existence
Feelings and
Dreamings
Think go on
Think.
Of something that
Has no word.
But words are
not enough
To speak of
Where they Come
From.
That's what
Poets Do?

David Taylor
