no need to explain
no need to dress up or down
arrive unadorned
come as you are
it is more than enough
if the words stand strong
we’ll read between lines
find the meaning
that lurks
amidst and among
once the words are on paper
they walk away from us
a bit shaky at first
like foals
then limber and long-legged
and off with the wind
