The Weight of Words
The weight of words is measured
not by their size
nor by their meaning
The weight of words is a measure
of where you have traveled with them
of the expanse of imagination
of how you’ve made love to them
of the texture of skin and synapse
The weight of words cannot be gauged
by hand or instrument
It is history, it is hope
It is memory, it is mind
This is why words can be weighed
in outer space
and out of time
