Like a tiny doll
trapped in her pirouette box
Wind me; confine me
Steady rotation
Dizzying; banality
I wait to wake up
Yet in certainty
As the sun rises daily
Find me out my cage
red skies bled o’er her
she watched the sun tuck away
moments in her life
expansed silenced void
are gentle, tranquil spirits
tossing around her
this is where she finds her calm
but i heard a noise!
go to the hall and make sure
chase the ghosts away
hey it’s udee’s phone
is it me you’re looking for
well, leave a message
they failed you again
who’s looking out for the seeds
taken, tossed away
let go with both hands
watch it violently spin
relinquish – control
…and loved you, lost you
thought she’d give you all of her
she gave you her best
wake, tiny dancer
to the movement inside you
to the sway of life
my body does this:
rattles me awake at 5;
hypoglycemic.
everything screams at
her eyes in the marketplace
shine reflecting shine
come, serene silence
under the noise, comes the buzz;
everything disjoints
