These Words

Began on 30 November 2005.

These words are mistakes –
Leaves that never should have fallen:
They litter the ground; Crimson,
The colour of rage.

These words echo spite and malice.
Unintentional – they cause the most pain:
The words no one choose to say.
Sprawling, a stain across the page

These words fall like rain:
Effortlessly, it seems – off the tongue.
Falling,
Again and again
