Collective Musings

I woke up insane, like

Spring was coursing in my veins and

Growing green things in my head to

Push out the musty, dusty, crusty

Thoughts of wintertime sadness

 

The wind is like a drug.

I sucked it into shriveled lungs

Felt it start whirling in my brain

Twirling things that had not been stirred

Since I had had tucked them away

Last summer in the heat and the heartbreak

 

My muscles hurt, right between my shoulder blades

From wielding a shovel like a war-spear

Against my enemy the gravel pile

It felt like wings trying to push through my skin

And with the empty blue bowl of sky calling

Calling, calling, calling me

Crying for me

I wished it were wings growing
