i don't sleep
12.2.06
there are seconds
in a mirror ball
a flash a shock of light
there are moments settled deep inside
where the consciousness goes to hide
words don’t exist
deeper places
turn your life around
a voice a tinkling melody
there are things that are too hard to say
as everyone turns to walk away
the door is open now
some times
in a velvet heart
a beat a sudden pause
the thunder of hesitation
very useless is conversation
how to know what to say
the hard metal taste
the worry the fear
chimes through
and all the world is lit
when life is what you make it
some pieces don’t fit
