Day 14: Verbs have feelings too.

I close my eyes.

droop drop down the way I feel on

early mornings.

All I want to do today is put together words,

rearranging the letters,

inventing my own inventions

But, I’ve been doubting myself lately,

forgetting that words are just verbalizations of

heartbeats

the only way to communicate the sound of eyelashes

before sleep.

Last night, someone told me that verbs have feelings

and he’s probably right

but I hadn’t thought of it like that before

so my heart kind of stopped

just so I could practice

feeling touch

feeling beg

feeling run.

I mean,

I always knew that at least

1/3 of nouns felt

and I’ve spent most of my degree

asserting that punctuation feels

but verbs have been forgotten

and verbs feel the most of all.

Last night I realized that I need to reconstruct my

ideas of language

be more playful

mess things up a bit

feel drink

feel scream

feel write.
