Crumbling into Particles
Tuesday, August 6, 2024

Traffic noise
in the sky dangling,
uselessly scrabbling
out of control.
Ear disturbance
folded into everyday life.

The energy fizzes around
does not go anywhere
to nail it down. 

The sparky heat,
many panicky feelings
didn’t sit quite right
in that world.

From awake or dreaming,
small repeated movements
moldering to decay,
crumbling into particles,
a prison of forgetting
as quiet as moonlight.

snippets from various places
