Wood Grain Secert (Free verse) by Rlee
I'm
Staring at wood grain trying to find a Secret.
Thump, thump, the breath of my heart I hear
Concentrate
Little white pills make it all too real
What would the neighbors say?
When they hauled her body away ------Grey
Concentrate
I'm
Staring at wood grain trying to find the Secret
Round, round, the little white bottle spins
Returning to middle--Is it me?
Black hole, euphoric space, please Andromeda
Say Grace-that's all I need
Sending off my little white passengers
onto their internal travel
Concentrate
I'm
Staring at wood grain trying to find the secret
Drip, Drop, the Liquid words drown in my ear
Fallen down, Cold linoleum shocks me clear
I have no sense for another career
Harsh light scrubs my eyes raw
Drilling the concerned wart of worry
My backbone, the wall and I have forgotten how to pray
I'm staring at wood grain trying to find my secret.
