To Catch A Word Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

To Catch A Word



Memories snap past
like blurred views
from many trains…

so little remains
of standing still.

Again and again,
in its ageing haste,
like a blotching pen
the heart spills out its waste.

And in his every room
the pages of vast,
half-empty visions lie
crumpled on the carpet
like flowers, tight shut,
trying still to uncurl and bloom
after they have been cut.
