Departure

Starving
On a blank blackboard
I wrote
Without words
I wrote
With the duster
Wiping
In swift motions
Before the army of words
Siege my bare fortress
From where
I barred words,
sentences

Ravenous
I fight the urge
to devour words
And surrender
In its green and graceful
motion
like wriggles
of a woolly caterpillar
lost among the green leaves
taking its miniature mouthfuls

Voracious
After my forty days exile
I set out
To binge
on words
I found none
I found instead
The silence of departure
