Poetry And Me

I use poetry. 
Sometimes.
To help unthink. 
Outwardly there is-
A tapping finger.
Hurts, but not really. 
Goes away for a bit when I write. 
My mind doesn’t go right, sometimes. 
Just strange, lingering…
Thinking. Lifting. Lingering. 
I use poetry.
Goes away for a bit.
Poetry. 
A vessel for eternity. 
I use poetry.
Like the stars use outer space. 
The poetry expands. 
Like space,
Empty.
I use poetry. 
Sometimes.
