if i could exist
in words
and not in body
i would be
louder than the tinnitus
clearer than my g li tchy s igh t
tronger than skinny limbs
hold less pain than nerves aflame
if i were words
i could bilocate
meet those in despair
bold, tireless
no shoulders to curl into
no truth i could not stomach
as words i'd speak
without a tongue
sing a high and clean falsetto
kiss
without trembling
