A Stiff Word

by Margaret Colangelo

A Stiff Word

Poems
take the most raw words, 
kink them just so
and make them fuckable. 
Alas, alliteration abounds… Bending one’s mind 
behind bookshelves,
tightly pursed at first, 
words on the lips slowly slide.
What’s this? Bang!
Thoughts burst onto paper…
This is really coming together!
