A Prayer to the integrity of words
by Ann Colton
|
Bless the verbs and nouns that
carry rivers of verse in their hour of need.
Bless their totality of wisdom
greeting morality with novels amassed,
usage, bringing yet tribal flouncing and
indecent drifting.
Without the integrity of words
our clans may never meet or greet,
for many ensembles would slither un-heard.
