Little Black Boxes Ii
Listen to poem:
black boxes
I have seen these
little black boxes
stacked neatly in
the back of my mind
while the clock stricks NINE
these little black boxes
of mine divided by time
keep my dreams in
these little black boxes
keep the passion
in these odd old boxes
keep them from dying
keep them in the dark
would not let the inner flame
break upon these hidden things
into places unknown or unseen
only dreams do they haunt
into the dark
they stumble
in these little black boxes,
they fall
in these black boxes at rest
stacked neatly in
the back of my mind
divided by time
