If You Don’t Write It Right The First Time

If you don’t write it right
the first time
you can never really fix it
therein
the flaw of deficiency
lies
never to be covered
or rolled aside
your words could not fathom
nor your hands imagine
the weight
or texture
of the void
Sometimes words are
too few to describe
so you must cut them short
and be satisfied
by the small raptures
they’ve provided
your insides
