drawing razorwire taut tendons
tight breath rustneedle intake
bury me leaves under shallow
bury me leaves under stone
rain wash silt the river down
rain wash silt the river down
fidget fingers making shadow words
fidget fingers making broken songs
fidget finger fidget misfit
metal gestalt cuts memory sharp
close winter my eyes of
slag cast, drawn...

In the end perhaps all of our efforts are nothing more than fidgets – maybe with good intentions – but do they help ease us of our burdens?
And yet, just sometimes, perhaps they touch others so deeply as to stir them either to action or understanding…or just to know that they are not alone.
Really connected with this, Michael.
I’m glad for that, Chris. It is a bit on the manic side in review, and I know that’s not for everyone, so it is good to know that it manages to pass muster. 🙂
Manic can be good. Sometimes it helps to vent.
Insert witty comment about Jethro Tull’s “Locomotive Breath” that is on the tip of my tongue, but seems to be quite content to crawl back into the back of my mouth and stay where it is.
😉
Oh my. Perhaps I should start taking my meds again…
Silliness aside, thank you Chris. You are quite correct.
😂 Silliness, like Mania, can also be good!
That’s great news, considering I have an abundance of silliness at my disposal!
🙂
This feels like to me the impassioned, almost crazed poet-
With so much inspiration but needing respite, like nature gives to allow flow. Beautiful, Michael
I might be a little off my rocker. Don’t tell anyone. Shh.
Thank you, Raven 💙
The best ones are.
FRESH CUP! MOVE DOWN! FRESH CUP!
Exactly. Time for something new and refreshing. I sure enjoy you, Michael.
Thank you! I’ve enjoyed our banter here, there, and elsewhere. It has been great having you around.
Me too. You are fun.
I could see this as song lyrics 👏
I imagine if I were to do put it to music that I would have to approach it from a Skinny Puppy or NiN feel. Hmmm. Slowish and grinding with a dash of angst. I might have to try that.
Enjoy where it takes you ✨️🎸🎵🍺
