discoball mind

 
fragments of mirror & flashing skies
strobe existence within the night
I'm moved
beyond words
body curled & mind stretched
my tiny world expanded
as bolt after bolt landed
& the rumble stomping ever closer
holding me in place
awestruck
I always am
when weather matches the storm inside
unseen
because I cap the bottle
locking that shit down
it's my chaos
nobody else needs to deal with it
screaming verses into the universe
ticking off a litany of pain
allowing them to naturally fade
until only the echoes remain
& the disco ball slowly stops revolving
my life incrementally evolving
those fragments of glass
glued to a ball of goodbyes
still glimmering in my forest eyes
tempo eases
...then rebounds
as rage rolls back around
& poetry ricochets
unheard
off shuddering walls
until the tempest at last passes
leaving me replete
aching for sleep
reverb still ringing in my veins
another night of wild release




endless...
