grounded

My thought-mechanics reason with monotony

Unexposed to monkeys.

The force of mind ignites my actions

So that pens will move for purposes

That lose themselves.

While my ardent instincts,

Kraken feelings,

Emotional configurations

And potential fires for belonging

To this whole world

Around this whole being,

Remain in check for the duration –

Wild, available moments in existence

Grounded -

While I wonder how to reach the sky,

What I could construct to swoop up high

To scratch the moving fabric briefly wide...

Before I simply fall and die.
