Transparency

I am transparent.
I look at this page
And my reflection is gone.
Words are elusive
and all i want is for them
to finally reflect me.

My words are clumsy
and i usually let them get
By with delustions of adequacy
because i haven't met the
Right words to be my mirror

I am gone.
Running back and forth
Trying to introduce myself
To as many words as possible
In hopes that one will finally
Work so perfectly that it's
Effortless.

But nothing happens.
My words--
My words which decipher
My own imagination
have yet to make my acquaintance.
So i settle for letting
Silence do the talking.
