Taboo Words winner inspired from words not said, so a poet shows reader what to see.
From the hillside,
when I tired of staring at dreams
escaping into the horizon,
I sensed your presence

Back to the footpath, you follow
silent along the edge
until I wedge within wood
to stare up at my ghost

Daunting you haunt,
hunt souls like me who dare dream

You merge with growing darkness,
only thin matter woven into shapes forming,
unfurling, reforming,
hoping to encase me

Trapped in my mind with dimming hopes,
I take solace, recreate
the essence of angels in words
that reside, winged

like you, hide inside
the soiled heart of gray matter
Do you devour spirits, too?

I’m in my woods nightly
on the edge,
dreaming of courage to run
before your shapes fall

on me
