spokespersonal.

Ow 
I said 
(again) as glass 
in hand - a bottle, 
thick, impervious 
and huge, of spirits 
strong - and consequently 
done no wrong - impacted 

on the cupboard hard.
I lifted up, and BANG
it jarred. Swept from  
its rightful place
to bang!  
This Tanqueray
did not quite fit
in space-swept hang 

it was the angle of my hand 
and in the wrist, I think 
misplanned or underseen. 
An oversight. 

So I said "Ow!"
It seemed like ow. 
It sounded ow. 
I spoke for it! 

It felt alright.
