drain.

she poured

the words

down 

into the hole

knowing, like

most wild things,

to set them free

held far more power

than caging them 

amongst the 

suburban confines 

of her

college ruled 

spiral bound 

pristinely golden

pages

You pull on the strings of words and create these beautiful melodies I never think possible. "college ruled, spiral bound, pristinely golden pages"--I could lick those words. I felt a cathartic release with every nod of agreement while reading this. Feels good to let them go down the drain where they will never return than hold on to the on the barred lines of paper. Genius!

Wow , a very nice read , really beautiful.

Oh my, how wonderfully thoughtful in word choice, structure and of course, theme. Bravo on the write!

Words on a journey to somewhere unseen and unknown perhaps?

Your post is one to think about, beautifully put.

Where do those words go? This is a really interesting concept cuz that is exactly the way I feel sometimes. Who do we write for ourselves...validation....not sure. Great thought provoking stuff.
