Fizzles In the Night

drop enough words on the universe you might crack something open you might find your way– –I don't know when a boulder hits the atmosphere it becomes a fizzle a morning glory radiant splendor shut tight before your morning cup maybe enough weight falls through to touch your heart and there it sits its precious metal undetected for years, decades, centuries how many words have fallen nowhere how do words that find us find us is there more inspirational insanity than Poe more insightful introspection than Emily more enlightened epiphany than Keats I don't know words illuminate my darkness find my way sing my song I'll drop a ton of them and be crushed by more fizzles in the night at the right time in the right mind help me, guide me, show me hey... meteorites happen my heart's been conked a time or two maybe this time it's zapped by you who knows staring up at the sparkles and the moon I want something to strike clear through
