Alive

Lost thoughts in a network of pine cones. 
Thinking thoughts, glomming on, ruptured…
I tried to write something inspiring as-
The electricity of hopelessness churning out dust bunnies.
Alive. 
You know what’s inspiring?
Glass orbs, wooden bed posts, and trains. 
They just hold still, or move a lot. 
All of us are:
Butterflies with pancake batter wings, 
Witches brew that tastes really good. 
Lost thoughts in a network of pine cones. 
Just like the energy of holding back the splatter. 
Like bones who have nothing. 
Or muscles that are enraged. 

A witches brew with pine cones and no magic at all. 
Tastes as good as surrounded by sparks. 
We all hold still, or move. 
Relax as much as a brain in a socket. 

You know who’s inspiring?
Anyone of the people who escaped like electricity. 
Made me wake up feeling inspired in some witches brew, rough, slobbery way. 

Alive.
