Wordlike fingers

touching my eyes and lips

emote my visions,

struggles for clarity,

ambiguity,

ecstasy.

Sights, sounds, smells

of memory

caught in endothermic

catalyzation

urging toward enlightenment,

musing entertainment.

We are the apes who speak

formalized syllables,

carry through centuries

in cuneiform or phonetic,

hold history in our hands.

Beyond words

we clutch or swing

brave emotion.

Caught like fireflies in a jar,

sending encoded signals

till light fades.

We hold, transmute, evolve,

learn to define.

My lips, my eyes immortalized

in metaphor, air upon ear,

tricks of the brain.
