Someone needs to
take my head
in his arms
and give it a slight
rattling to the
effect of
awakening those
thoughts so
recently
put to rest out of
sight and so
out of
mind and hearing
and sight
just so.

Someone needs to take
my head in his hands and
place it back upon my
shoulders where it used
to lie upon the mold
which is me.

I had in my head
a much bolder,
a much more sincere,
a stronger verse.
All in my head,
but then I lost it
when I lost my balance
and dropped my
head and thoughts
while driving
to the darkness,
home.
