so i'll sit and wait
and stare at this empty dish
asking it to be a
plate
and coordinate all the mechanisms
joining the tethers in my mind
and listen to my heart
searching for nothing to
find
"before we continue"
the wheels are turning
"we must begin"
and i'll lay my head to this pillow
billowy
soft
and cotton
but devoid of all things pretty
and long past necessary
"freeze me up again"
