Buckeye Emotions

Folder: 
New-ish and New

I close my eyes tightly

and hold them there

Reflecting nervous thoughts

A grinding manner and twitching heartbeats

pause a future moments occurring.

Pushing the poultry off the counter,

I rummage through the pantry

and hit the streets in search of relief

Through the grass,

grazing the past

it feels good to taste the air

letting go of embarrassing sweat

All the hurt, self doubt

regret.

return to whole

fill this space with seasonal cheers

and close my eyes

Forget the lies

be still again amidst the blazes

Not everyone can be contagious

without purpose  or motive to sigh

qualms are there to get you high

and day by day

you pretend this way

So stick out your tongue

depress all the fun

close  your eyes

stay shut.
