Treasure What? (Free verse) by Bankrupt_Word_Clerk
I've got a motivating pain in my chest
it moves from far away to now and back again
Like ripples in a pool crash against the edge
and rebound to the center causing a shimmer
that doesn't even look like a pattern after a while.
I've got a substantiating enigmatic proposition in my mind
rattling from synapse to cortex to oblongata
In a hailstorm of information crossing paths with
involuntary muscular commands... I choke. I laugh...
my mind rejects the hypothesis.
I continue to remember.
remember.
you.
My mind demands a sacrifice
I choke. I laugh out loud to the sky.
Particles of days past break free and flow
Lazily through the database of yesterday and tomorrow
as I sit in the middle of a pile of pillows fluffed with
overspent emotional trial and expensive advice given freely
I smile contentedly. drunk on my past.
remembering continuously.
continuously.
us.
we.
it.
