Trigger Phrase

"Trigger Phrase"

A trigger phrase,
that’s  what I need,
to clarify my thoughts and haze
a trigger phrase.

It was good up there,
that thought I had,
the one that meant a new
Poem for you
down here, or up there.

A trigger phrase
to listen to,
to build onto,
to fire from

The barrel of 
a  good and worthy thought 
is  gone 
like  the bullet  from
a  gun.
