A neologism is a made-up word
a placeholder for a feeling
as yet unchristened.
I used to make up words when I was a child,
but I can't remember them, now.
I like to think that I found what I was looking for,
needed a placeholder no longer,
I learned and filled in and rewrote
what before I had created and fever-dreamed and silver-tongued.
I hope that my instinct didn't die
it's just rusted, filmed-over, and geoded.
