Plumes In Rooms

Counting hours like chickens
     waiting to get fried
until my last pressures get
     properly denied
by that amnestic ruckus
     compelling my stride.

My revelry extracts your
     most suspicious eye
while I collect brains like I'm
     Professor Magpie
instructing the planet on
     how it ought to fly.

You wafted off on that cloud
     propelling my pride
until I cried at that thick
     storm brewing outside
lamenting that lonely gust
     when our essence died.
