Wrestling With Words

We writers
We wrestle with words
We grapple with
Our deepest hurts

We lasso letters
Subdue sentences
Assert alliteration
On prose skeletons

Phrases follow us
Verbs vex us
We’re haunted by imagery
Of our past failures

And all of this
In desperate pursuit
Of seeing our problems
From a better point of view
