For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
I wrote this listening to this QUUF sermon on words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz1YooiM6m8
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: mop. Where IS the mop in this kitchen? More mystery.

word word word
sometimes I think about words
you say, you come back
two weeks after I say something
and say you’ve been thinking
about what I said
yes, sometimes I don’t understand
your words
or I feel hurt by them
the emotions come first
the cascade of electrons and hormones
along nerves and in blood
I have learned over the years
to hold those feelings close
and often I don’t show them
until I am alone and can let them rise
the feelings rise
and I examine them
I fight internally about the words
what they mean, what you mean
were they mean or do I not understand?
and finally when the emotions subside
I can ask you, talk to you
say what did you mean by this?
You think I stew too much
at least
I have that impression sometimes
respectfully and gently I disagree
not yelling is very important to me
and to you as well
maybe these emotions are too much
too intense
I have been told that many times
but they are mine
and I hold them close
with love
and I hold you close with love
too
and try my best not to yell
words words words
be gentle with each other
hold your feelings close
don’t react to words
that confuse you
and wait until you can ask
what they mean
