Subliminal

Words
(rich and round)
(crisp and flat)
were always there
(they didn't know their names)
gaining density
(eddying, circling)
until the instant
(big bang)
of creation.

Set free
(not to be denied)
they scramble insistently
(interrupting sleep)
inexplicably drawn to scraps of paper
(intriguingly familiar)
arranging
(and rearranging)
themselves
(connecting)
assembling
(fragments)
into artful patterns
and, like starlight,
illuminating.
