Fluttered pages here and there. An undrunk coffee mug nearby A capless blue pen on the floor; One on the table. Half-written pages flying around Crumbled sheets on the ground. A panic stricken frenzy Readings. Recitals. Writing. Repeat. Ink splattered hands Gazing into emptiness Longing for a time devoid of all these And then it came. A feeling of emptiness Confusion as to how to pass time Slowly it fades. And everything repeats.
The Sparrow
I saw him in the morning;I was doing my crosswords then.Folded the newspaper, and I set out to watch. He had made his palace inside the turtle ivy kingdom .Almost finished becoming a home;Waiting for the last straw and peck.
