forces
of  nature
wake up   my head 
a tilt tray      how to 
dump   or lower 
all the caught
stuffed clogs   the teeth on
wooden pattens  buckle 
 come some mechanic   tickling 
 head  holding
wrench 
I am the constant re-arranger
filing over filing    must be
watched   in case I chew
it up
and store it in my cheeks
secret squirrel    sighs
 more grief  
 holding up the line
 sentencing you all  
to lukewarm tea  unwanted
idle hours   I am
unpaid overtime    I am your
anger  
overcome  in waves
  spilling and
recurring
  hopeless   I’m the sea
 
Oh i think that is everything, and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteso that's how it all washes up!
