Poem Written At 2 Am Last Night With A Janky Ass Rhythm
poem written at 2 am last night with a janky ass rhythm
flowers
the sun burns my skin, for once i let it in
moderation can heal the bonds between kin
my eyes, used to dark, retract drastically
and the heat is a welcomed unfamiliarity
the pavement feels different compared to my carpet
the wind is much softer than the a/c
my back straightens out and i take a deep breath
nothing bad will happen to me
one foot in front of the other, i think
lessons i learned as a kid
but back then when i had seen strangers on paths
i hadn't run, i hadn't hid
the knot's not untangled, the yarn is not free
but the lights were turned on, so at least i can see
the herd of plants tangled up in front of me
enough to fill a large picture based glossary
and forward i wander, i quiet my mind
the screams reduced to a hum
i start to skip for the very first time
i start to sing, when i had only sung
no one's around to watch me rediscover
a simplicity found in every neighborhood
and i had forgotten that compared to the trees
artificial pine could never smell quite this good
as I meander without trying to think
a sweet scent starts lingering past my numb nose
I turn on my heel to figure it out
to see where it takes me, see where i could go
a poetic justice was served that bright day
when i stopped and i smelled the flowers
a bushel of small, white petals on leaves
delicate, and upon me, like confetti they showered
but just one numbing though crossed my mind as i stooped
in the midst of my amature hike
in the few years i spent confined in my mind
i had forgotten what flowers smelled like
