My fingers type as normal.

So why won’t Words come out?

Has something in my brain been altered?
Has someone meddled with the chemical makeup?
Or did I hit my head?
Did I sleep too little?

Why won’t Words come out?

Like I’ve been bathing in a tub full of mud
that’s slowly drying.
I’m sinking further and further still,
until it’s just my nose
above the surface.

Won’t you come out now, Words?

I feel the world slip away from me,
as rain-scented mud fills my nostrils.
The world ends
when I can no longer write

As I will

drown in my own M b I a N t D h .
