This is not working. How does one write poetry? I have forgotten.

If the world is but a stage
then I am but a mime,
lost for words and lost in words
and trapped by words,
for the significance of sound
is lost to the mute.

In silence I have brought forth
the essence of craftwork,
washed myself in the afterbirth
of Loki Lie-Smith.

  1. First stanza is pretty much made of gold. Maybe tarnished silver. But still, I like it.
