Fall No Trace

Decomposition is harder 
than sketches in the first place
the written word curdles 
as erasure's medium
sentences life to echo
down cowering and brave hallways.

Be there not merit!
Exclamations as a question
demand a response
ink kind
no pencils
for once scribbled
twice remembered.

Music and a video
will inculcate
while the simple words
down and down
and down
a page
are the chorus 
of the not likely
to be heard.

And so, poets,
use language!
Be un and for
fear and dreary light,
concave the solar
complexus
and make every letter
anew.
