i come so close to saying what I need to say that
it sits on the tip of my tongue and laughs
because I can feel the words, taste them even.
I just can't do anything else but choke on them
as I swallow them back down
for the time being anyway.
They'll stay bottled inside until theyre ready
to come out and formulate words that make sense
to myself or to you or them.
