Hypergraphia 4

HYPERGRAPHIA 4

Ragged winds drag
shadows. Dreams harp
in their ruins. This
is the landscape of
a brutal mind. Slung
between cradle and
deathbed. Beyond the
reach of compass. As
gypsies light hearts fly
home and astray. In
empty jars lie surplus
remnants of rust and
decay. Watching minutes
of time chimes delayed 
and fade. Into sixty
seconds of sunset on
any given day. Pulling
lead weight away. Taking
phrased articulation
displays.  While I keep
the rest of my next
at bay. Crossing lawns
lined laminating. Bread
bores .Fields of cotton
versions of the same
poem. Ashamed borders
blameworthy displays.

James Inman November 17, 2015 at 8:43 AM Interesting poem, Kim, smooth flow. Interesting condition as well. Are there three previous writes or will this evolve into HYPERGRAPHIA 5? Kim Van Breda November 17, 2015 at 9:07 AM Hiya James. Thanks for your visits and encouraging comments. Well.. Hypergraphia started as I think my two "Hypergraphia Word Salads".. somewhere on the Soup.. and then another one. For people like me who write poems obsessively.. it's quite freeing to just write what comes into your head sometimes.. a bit abstract.. but different :) ~~X~~
