Ceiling
I turn the music on
And the lights off
I try to write a poem
My ink lights up on the wall
Finally silence in my brain
I take moments away
To remove the ceiling and dive into the ocean above
Wind replaces the fan
Leaves fall on my bed
Some flowing down in and out of streams of moonlight
Before they finally hit the floor
The dots in the sky then connect back into a cage
There's no longer laugh lines on my eyes
Just wrinkles on my face
The moonlight fades
Silence turns back into screams
Reality kicks in
Hopefully the leaves are still on the floor.. at least.
