Words find Mouths by Imtiaz Dharker
Things were meant to flow
one from another. They were meant to grow
into one another; to know
the taste and feel of being part of one vast whole.
All that stopped
when words found mouths,
when tongues wagged their way
into minds,
and each object shrank, suddenly,
to fit its own precise outline.
You could say
that was when the trouble started:
When things stepped into the cage
of a purpose I must have had
somewhere in my mind.
