Llamas (Free verse) by Skamper
Dead things
resurrect the imaginings
of child-like tantrums
filling hollows
and writhing in the
shallows -
strangled threads
twist and wriggle
to be free
thoughts bumping
stumbling
apologising
whatâs right?
seats reserved
for those deserving
the rest shuffle
for places filling fast
Teach me a polished
way to speak
slide your new tongue
between the cracks
where slighted words
were tossed
just because -
I tired of them
the page laughed
creased
and walked away
shaking dog-eared head

Slide your new tongue between the cracks ties in more with what is written after than before it. I agree with the 'the' in line two and have adjusted it on my own copy. thanks for reading.
