Communication

I swallowed a skunk
Or maybe it was a word
A  few seven-letter words
Consumed with four-letter gulps
Gusto gone awry
As this industrious funk
Willows from my throat
Encapsulating these
Hot, grimy, skunky words
You deflate under the noxious sounds
A pause, a breath, defective peristalsis
I’m just trying to tell you how I feel
