Burps

 

Today you woke and felt a certain delicacy of presentiment –

an indistinct prefiguring – an adumbration of velleity
becoming something longer, stronger – until what had begun
as whim had turned to steel. Intricately large vocabulary

in you whirled and wielded you into a reeling spiel:

then suddenly your words became usurped by burps: your
gut rebelled against the verbal glut. By now you’ve calmed
and come around. You thought you’d try to write it down.
