Crossword

What do you have so far?

Are you certain?

I fill the grid with permanent ink

Inhabit boxes with reasoned letters

Aspiring to the seamlessness 

Of a prescribed solution 
The squareness
Of squares within a square

I read the clues like a seance 

I exhume the answers

From shallow graves

Dead words

Words without blood

Words to serve me

To spell the grief

Of empty space

Little messiahs

Come Sunday 

Come Saturday

Come Friday

Come Thursday

Come Wednesday occasionally
