A word-
So much power in just 6 spaces.
Your mouth and brain
are consumed by a vocabulary
with as many choices as
stars in the sky on a clear night.
A word
communicates your ideas clearly
and also leaves the water as murky
as Lake Erie crashing against shore-
creating worries and caution observing
what is obscuring you view.
A word
has many synonyms
that would instigate a large variety
of feeling within another human.
Yet you chose to use that one
knowing it would hurt me the most.
