[My Word Wizard is a website I found for prompts and the phrase struck me]
My Word Wizard
escapes sometimes
when I need them most.
When they're here, I imagine them to be wizened
all-encompassing
dictionary leaves for their hair.
They speak slowly, if at all, and
slender fingers pluck a phrase from their head
like lexical dandruff.
But when they're gone,
I can feel the absence
taking up space in my head
intangible but encroaching
like blindness.
