It Happens
Repetition in suffocated boredom
dropped below in anchor, my hands
inspire to reach potential,
potent in inertial replication,
my words are intact, but
satisfaction denies, surface
pavements soaked in wet rhythm,
loose-leave swept by autumn leaf
adrift in my mind, transfixed
ideas flourish an uninhabited sea
of reason, seasoned walking on
thoughts fond, empty emotions
claim take to hand, whimpered
twitch, knuckle crack, sit in
crunched time inadequate rhyme,
sweat palms in doubt, blocked
profound, I hear no sound,
vast imagery temples my pen,
these walls make it hard to breathe.

i love the progression of this poem on the 1st read…intellectual gives way to anxious, excited energy in stanza 1-2 and then 3 is pure experiential emotion 4 is aggressive and then the final is a beautiful combo of human (semi)coherence
