Using Permanent Ink

My new notebook
is ready for this unexpected
journey into a new vocabulary,
ready for words that
carry the weight of unsaid
thoughts, words hidden
behind an exterior that moves
on a flat surface, unaware
of fault lines, of crevasses
and uphill climbs
This notebook accepts
my black fountain pen ink,
doesn't bleed through the page
leaving a shadow print,
a ghost of words written.
