#180! “Words Stuck” Another parable, sort of.

wandering down a road
that i’ve been before
i wonder which way i’ll go
that signpost is familiar
i know these trees and smells
and words stuck in my throat

don’t misunderstand me
some stuff doesn’t have a name
it’s a thought or a feeling

going nowhere
got no companion
but i am not alone
i smell lilacs
hear the wind call
words stuck in my throat

it’s the world breathing
it’s the burden of living leaving

i had a raincoat
but now i’ve lost it
now i have no coat
but if it rains
i have words protect me
words stuck in my throat
