when lost for words

when none are there

a vacant mouth

a tongue that's bare

then scour the earth

then go in search

then climb a tree

a silver birch


then dredge canals

then swim them seas

all 6 & 1

where can they be?

from pole t' t'other

a fruitless ordeal

but after all that

well, how do you feel

( ? )
