letters (The Word)

The Word.
handful of words, limited to the number.
colorful pebbles vary in shapes and weight.
just so many could be juggled at once
to cast formless chimera over darkness,
paint rainbows over none existing skies.
keys to the world of deception, guides in the land of lies.
I let them sift freely through my hands,
like sand, like water, like wind…

if you meet me in my darkest.
the only one would remain,
lay flat on my palm.
colorless, weightless and attractive
like void, like emptiness, like nothing…
like your name…
