Dicere


Dicere
(dice dico dictus dicers)
(to say, tell, speak, name)

there is an evolution
to my proven voice
a gradeless learning curve

 I say
in conversation
trite and undemanding words
sugary on the tongue

 I tell
in confidence
whispered noise
disquieting and original

 I speak
from the rooftops
passionate unrest
trigger finger poised

I name
final wrongs
point stained fingers
impose lessons learned
