My Indescribable Brain
My hexagonal mind
tried to squeeze herself round
oozing into other worlds
forgetting she had her own
My personality died
in this land of crazy pretense
Through every fault of my own
I squelched, then killed her solid
Gave up poetry and art
Scoffed as my knowing heart screamed
Ignoring my uniqueness
Pushing into other’s truths
My indescribable brain
Saw that our heart was dying
Not crying, damn it. DYING.
Imagination arrived, guns blazing.
We wrote poetry all over walls.
And it felt great, for it was.
We live among our paintings now.
Revitalized and rejuvenated.
