In My Mind…

Sitting… The soft polar draft coming thru the small window…

I like to poison myself sitting here.

In hailing the cold, white led paint chipping away like time itself.

I sit there on a big mattress with tired quilts.

The i-pod begins to sing.

"So I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes"

Yes

Teach me, to make a luscious, luminous piece.

I discover an empty, blank feeling I despise.

LEAVE my body for once!

Teach me to write like I once did.

Beautiful words creating a dazzling lagoon a tall willow tree

As luminous fireflies dance in a summer night's breeze.

A forest of bewilderment I use to sit in with my little row boat…

Which is now broken

So I sat there

I sat…

In my mind.
