A Different Light

No Folks Guitar

I can’t play my folk guitar can’t hold it but can trip on verses like a
folk poet traveling
words tumbling / word stumbling
my voice is strangling words

No paper. No pen. No guitar strings.
To catch them

Can’t Pound Pound Pound
the guitar
Just talk too much don’t say enough
