The Stories That Flow When Not Thinking


"The Stories that Flow when Not Thinking" 

Collaboration 
in the corner 
with poets 
and lovers

well hidden
in the noise
of words 
not said 

mouths are 
moving
not 
speaking 

minds 
watch on 
watching 
stories 

unravel 

at the party
lines are drawn
the watcher 
watches on

reads 
between choices, 

flowers 
plucked from walls 
freshly bending
inwards

where mouths
don’t speak at all 

minds 
plant another
language hypnotic
in bodies moving

Munch music 
magnetised 

the stories
that flow 
when open
and not thinking 

gardens tenderley
cajoled, tendered,
their Picasso Blues
heard

the gardener 
like a 
Chatterley 
lover, 

with no tongue
watches on
