    paper pillow crackled,
      bending ink
         beneath his head

               paper pillow softened
                  by his tears
                    quantity shed
    
                        sifting paper powder
                              parting words
                                  from red

           processing over
             and over,
               growing thoughts

                       s p r e a d.

Hello Enchantress,
    Thanks for the very,very!   I woke up at 4:00 this morning with a neckache, paper pillow and paper powder going through my head--just had to do something with those words!

Have you been peeping inside my head again??

Love the way you handled this, using the structure to build the meaning.

This one flows out like the first light of dawn. It has that insomniatic, can't-wake-can't-sleep feel to it. Awesome.

Hello Ratleader,
   So we meet again.   No--I have not been peeping in your head again.  You just have so many ideas going through your head that someone is bound to find one and write about it!   Thank you for your kind comments--this stuff is pretty new to me and it's nice to know when I happen upon something that works.
Thanks again for the feedback!

bsquirrel,
   You know, I think this may have poured out a little bit before dawn!  I appreciate your kindness.
