Wonder if
words can
—like a knife,
a club,
like a
hard boot to a tailbone
wound someone
to their heart
leave it scarred
or
if words
can
—like a child’s giggle,
the fragrance of
a wild rose
fresh cookies
sighting a
lost/found lover
warm
fill
a heart
then
wonder what you’ve heard
what a murderer’s heard
and his judge said
then
tell me
can words change a life?
