Word

Category: My Poetry
 -for all the parents who are given a “word” that changes their lives

 dictionary.jpg

I tell you

it’s only a word

just a label

 

necessary for some things

unnecessary for many

only a word

 

that changes everything

there is before the word

and then there is after

 

the word is an axe

that divides time in two

an axe that splits the heart

 

in the end

it is only one word

among many
