words have sometimes a way of stilling themselves
& then, no, we have a way of stilling words
in a way to still ourselves:
a choice of being still
& quiet to be still.
words need people to fill their blanks,
quick eye-flicks across the page:
a page of contained dimensions
bearing a pharynx
that, from edge to edge,
is still,
still as a minute glottal sphinx.
– Arthur Yap
