words: in order

not actually related to the previous post…

Filed under: free write, fresh meat, poetry — Jenn @ 10:12 pm

Having not recorded the words I liked from the last muttering, I did a free write at lunch today.  So, sorry, it is not based in my responses, but here it is anyway.

I am settled to disquiet by a slight tremor
now, more often than not
at the thought of you

I am undone to my cells
held together by caffeine
the pinch of my skinny-day jeans
and the notion that I must keep both eyes on the road
(I don’t know why I must, but it’s there – in those same cells)

so I sip coffee, untasted in a glow
of generic cafe lights and old country tunes
I can’t feel their hurtin’
but the tremor in their voices
keeps time with my hands

  3. Absolutely LOVE THIS: I am undone to my cells
    held together by caffeine
    the pinch of my skinny-day jeans
    and the notion that I must keep both eyes on the road

    Happy belated new year to you. Love the new look. Hugs to you, XINE
