Random
words hit the page unspoken
some bounce, others absorbed
in the thin thickness of fibers
at random
awaking or asleep, in betweens
not shared but coming willy-nilly
at times inconvenient to living
at random
muscles twitch, ache, wanting
what isn't, what can't, what might
wanting to run, wanting to rest
at random
crying, laughing, unfeeling, emoting
each moment unlike the one before
nothing familiar, expectations whither
at random
spattered, scattered, thoughts fly
lacking pattern to guide their paths
wishing, hoping, bending, breathing
at random
wanting what's too soon to be expressed
not even knowing what is needed
waiting for that moment
of clarity
