| When I closed my eyes the right side of the world fell silent because the left side of the world gobbled up all the sounds so my head chased its own tail until I toppled into a pool of mixed up words swimming as hard as I could when my two bare feet sunk deep into cold bossy mud but no mud could hold me and when they finally wriggled free a steep climb up ice mountain led me into heavy waters pulling every weighted inch of arms and legs to the floor while my head floated up to the sky like a red balloon tethered to an unheld string when suddenly a door opened and swallowed me into a room filled with no one to share the dizzy air so I sat down on the ceiling waiting for the music to fill my ears together so that all the spinning would stop. This poem written with Tweetspeak Poetry's prompting in Shakespear and Company: Dream a Little Dream Prompt. |
