Limits

 

Beyond the limit of what can be said,

Is this terrible pain in my heart.

In my head,

Move the words which I fashion

To carry the weight

Of a knowledge

They weren’t built to bear.

They buckle and bend

Into cliché or worse,

As I try to make verse

Tell all that I know.

 

Beyond language

Lies a loneliness

Too profound for words.
