Words I Made Up

words i made up
for sound only
against a game my sister played
of words with sounds
that rotted in my throat
(they don't count
she said, unless you can find them
in the dictionary)
pushed through underbrush
untame
until the very wild of sound only
was my kingdom,  a void
that needed no fighting for
that swallowed the world,
meaning on meaning,
whole, or forgot it.
