Poetry from Christa Ward

I’ll never tell

There is mass in my throat

I swallow

Don’t Choke.

The mass is still there

I’m still suffocating.

I can still breath?

My lungs still work. Surprising me.

What is this knot in my throat?

I know…

It’s the tangle of words I cannot bring myself to say

Choking me.

They clog my tears too

So I do not cry.

A damn.

Concrete

Poured down my throat until I can not speak at all.

Passing me in the street you would never know

I’ll never tell
