-I want to believe in breath
as it enters and escapes
the body, believe
it does more than simply
expand the chest and become
molded into sound.
I want to believe in syllables,
in their endless combinations,
in the wonders and the mysteries
that can be built from them.
I want to believe in words,
believe they are real,
believe they carry weight
and add to the ounces of the soul.
