Terza Rima- Attempt I


Cascade, shatter, fracture, so many words now

They fill my arteries, clogging my skins pores;

Literate drops of sweat that fall from my brow

 

Words that tumble, jumbled from my open jaws

Inhale the small talk, heady, intangible,

Literature pools, red rivulets on the floor

 

Iridescent, their beauty plays us for fools

Wily, wicked, pulling us over the end,

Like sirens, seductive typography calls,

 

 

Our quivering hearts we can never defend,

As wry words create scars we never can mend
