bold black italics

paper cracked tired
folded around words
under bold black italics
spirals
e
e
e
the loose
knot of that letter
in bold black italics
how I widen to pronounce
to let sound slip
around the inside of my cheeks
a balloon of vowels pregnant in my mouth
smoke stained pages how
many cigarettes
adhesive gum aged contoured calm
useless of less use
not holding together
held
these incoherent pages
full of bold black italics

You just keep getting better and better.
"A balloon of vowels pregnant in my mouth", brilliant, wow, amazing.
