her excitement burbles and stutters
the same words crashing
incessantly incessantly
against the unreasonable boulder
trying to say it all
to say everything at once
pitch rising and rising
like vocal water vapor
consonants jumping from the stream
little silver fish glinting
can't recall what she was saying
but the way she said it
stubborn waves breaking free
rushing out
the rubbled boulder beaten
her blue eyes a waterfall
written for one shot wednesday
