Language – a poem by Jared Carnie

Look.

Someone has scattered these words
across my dreams.

Crunch.
Crisp.
Squirrel.
Lust.
Fur.
Tender.
Nocturnal.
Peculiar.
Salacious.
Fiction.

Jared A. Carnie lives in Sheffield. His debut novel, Waves, is available now. He can be found at www.jaredacarnie.com.
