Threads

words string warp 
weft of memories packed tight
snugged against the beater bar inside my heart
mostly true stories twined
twisted threads interlock 
painted rainbows woven
boundless palette unfurled
cascading colors bleed
emotion portraits fragile art
explored in quiet breath
meditation
infinity paused

 
Poetry Stutters

Poetry stutters     stops
arguing for release 
bubbling    fermenting    oozing out of pores 
insistent, incessant 
words pop up
circle brain before bed 
incandescent wordings play whack a mole
surface, disappear, reappear
randomly repeat, gather, and disperse 
lyrics mirror and reverse 
in rhythms inferred 
 
enigmatic observations 
marking time in isolation  
a swelling army         united 
marching columns split off
dazzling dance team choreography 
as string pulls from inside my chest 
rips away meaning, no way to digest 
lingering lovely words 
oscillate, jumble, pirouette 
why do they hiccup inside my head? 
tumbling acrobats unwilling participants
eluding attempts to record their patter 
hiding, hidden    hindering poetic perfection 
suffocating 
quarantined airtight
denied sunlight or completion
denied a sweet release</description></oembed>
