Universal

language

under construction

has seldom

been an obstruction

in the blink

of a while I've been

gifted to fill

blanks and lift

the tongue tied

but not 

every 

time

is one 

so lucky

as to unfurl

from the heavens 

its half finished

thoughts...

an unresolved

thundercloud

of jumbled letters

is raining doubts

while I am parched

and left without

though I've knocked

and smiled too loud

an outage turns 

the alleys back

and the vintage street

keeps its mysteries 

locked and latched!

where is the precious  

conversion stone

from which we've

learned to read 

and infer?

...the albatross

upon the lanyard 

around the neck

is gone and in

the absence of a key

the portal to my

understanding

is lost and 

blocked
