awhirl

Here is another contribution from guest splatter sass:


awhirl
i'm staring at the ceiling again
mind reeling
thoughts rushing ceaselessly
fish-tailing
flipping
flitting
fleeing half-formed
and fleeting

my mind reaches to grasp
though there's but air
mere wisps of smoke
swirling

disappearing into whorls of nothing

just an observation

Here is a contribution from another guest splatter, this time it is sass from my whorl. She is quite a prolific poet and often publishes her writing on her blog. Go check it out!


l
ife goes on...

the trash truck does it's rounds,
tow trucks wait
on the edge of the highway -
lions at a watering hole.
motorists carve curious trails,
carom precariously,
swim drunken laps through a sea of
careless cars.
today's headlines line the lampposts
like so many doomsday prophets.
there's so much truth,
so many lies.

i retreat behind the bars
of my eyes...

and life goes on...
