As the world spins back toward me
I wonder where it all went; when it left
Nothing about the sky seemed any different
until I realized that the stars were gone
replaced by mocking laughter and a too-bright darkness
I would just fall apart if I could
though I'm not entirely certain I haven't already
My mind unable to track the simplest thoughts
as a butterfly lands, climbing into a cocoon
Tears of laughter sprawled on the sidewalk
digging my fingers into the cracks
lest they close up and leave me with nothing to hold
I may find it impossible to float away even then
Coming down, meeting the ground hard
I never told it goodbye, it must be angry
but I will have to deal with that tomorrow
More pressing thoughts of yesterday take me in
Author notes
Doing my best to slip into a trip that I've only imagined.

Your an amazing poet
Blessed be! -
The imagery takes your breath away, I really enjoyed this. I have now found another favorite on this site. It's been hard not to find so many talented poets. You are very talented my dear. And this is really good.

i loved it until the end. everything else
had a really deep atmosphere to it, but sandwhiches?
i guess hunger is realistic but it kind of took
me by suprise after the cool visuals of the sky
and the sidewalk. i think this could use some editing
but certainly has potential to be kickass.

I agree, that line was kind of a cop out.
