"Jungle of Words"

one tugged at one strand
the other at another
whisper they did to me
about their roots

i called out to them
to sort
to divide
to mark

and
gleefully they laughed
mockingly cried
so you too draw

boxes in boxes
shadows and shapes
you dare order
and prevent play

doll doll doll
do you say i
or name
without us

screech
tumble
slide
glide

did they
and i unable
to hold
to stand

joined their play
you abandoned me
i hold them now
and they me
