It was raining, could you see?
Strained my eyes so hard, man.
Not a drop. My eyelids are heavy and dry
And droopy
I couldn’t see the rain. Maybe it stopped?
There was a breeze by the valley
I wasn’t there but I remember my footprint in its soil
If only I could unravel my heart’s turmoil, you’d know
And if you’d know, you’d tell me
Won’t you?
How to wake up and feel the new smell of a day
How to age
And act like it.
For now I will just sit and stare
My time lying empty and bare, but not free
Oh no, never.
I shift cities and lay still forever
Motionless. Emotionless.
Waiting for nothing,
Nothing gets better.

One thought on “

  1. Kobi bolechen,

    “Mindfulness the elusive doe
    you turn into an object
    shape-shifting at times
    like the rolled out toothpaste tube
    or rigid like an old table clock
    No one uses them anyway
    But you keep being
    You stay awake
    For there are new things coming
    for you had felt things before
    and they stick to you
    like a motherless bullet
    suspended inside
    the cushion of your brain
    capable of killing you but it doesn’t
    and so you doubt whether
    there really was a bullet
    or was one of your hangovers
    or one dignified brain-fart
    and you wish it was a bullet
    wishing you could know you died
    just to be sure you didn’t imagine
    at the cost of your sanity”
