Not Insane.

Mirrors and mumbling cacography

Pressed between paper sheets,

That is me

Hours of fingers pressing piano keys

Tangled violin strings

And the embryos of ripening stars webbing the sky,

That us what I have come to be

Desiderium for delirium

Lilting tunes and an earth that tilts

Towards a blood red moon

Swooning white roses and self checkout lanes,

I am not insane.

Stuff that only rhymes sometimes,

Anagrammed actions causing tears and fearful years

Two ears that hear everything except what I need to.

Inaudibility with authenticity

And shards of crystals in my brain

No, I am not insane, just a poet

But those two terms are almost the same.
