there's a silence here just now that's crushing
like the heat
but the heat,
i don't mind so much

i've thought up a million and one
things that could go wrong
a million and one other things that could
already be going wrong
but
i am not afraid

flights of fancy of a common breed,
one that i have never sought
never seen
sometimes
fly overhead these days and I think Damn,
I must be getting old

that, I suppose, or other things,
things going all beautifully wrong
with my head again

sometimes i even think about flowers
in paper holsters
left on doorsteps
with quivering miniature notes
holding on
for dear life

RedDreams~
I think it's wonderful to have thoughts rushing through our heads ... splashing in our ink-of-think~
Makes for marvelous poetry shared~
Thank you for sharing yours~
