Words - Kelley Stoltz

In my way, I would explain, encapsulate a hurricane

That’s with me every night and day, in my fingers and my brain

The pressure that these words contain

To love you is the highest high, higher than the highest high

To look you right into the eye, my black-haired girl

She knows I love her conversation undercover

We’ll pay no mind to pouring rain, below the branches make our way

Insects tumble, we can fumble for words

While the silence winds its lazy way into another day

And I don’t know what there’s left to say
