ribbons on sticks
I’d quite like to steal away titles
Run fast with them
Almost tumbling, the poem a ribbon trailing
I see them all but I imagine the trip
And an angry poet catching up with me
Telling me not to break unwritten rules
So I’m not ( )
With a tear stained face
Allowing panic and terror
To strip the surface from my eyes...
Nor am I dwelling in ( )
Encased in a quiet
Where the little known inner self speaks
Holder of the missing words
Of kaleidoscopic puzzles
To immerse into the abstract
And when I’m at ( )
I won’t tell of
Moments when hearts
Tumbled into one another
Entering serenity
Some kind of quiet
Stillness, pausing to inhale
But the ribbons fly
I tumble and roll but hold them aloft
For even on a day with no breeze
It’s possible to try and run to create flight
