Words of wither called back at me from that void.
That void where I threw letters and jumbles and themes.
Songs and poems crashed back into me as it threw them back.
Spat the words back in contempt, resentment,
But the patterns, the rhymes, the equations,
In which these words had been spun,
It was more meticulous than any architect, artist or author I had ever observed.
This void in the mirror;
Could take my carelessness and selfishness,
Weaving and working it into an art.
