Words

A Poem by Tracie D'Angelo

Written 7 December 1990

They were words

So harsh and scattered

I knew they could be nothing more

than words

How easily they form

Take shape

Written clay to mold an image

A desolate, destructive image

To feed upon itself for survival

but they were just words

Can they be taken back

Broken pieces out of the kiln

Swept up and laid upon the heaping trash

they are words

And when spoken

Who can forget
