can you catch me?

Posted on by areadingwriter

my brain, more
smudge than wrinkled-
thinking-machine,

eye-to-eye — last week’s
cold coffee & I —
where is the milk

in this sugarless
goodbye. we’re locked

but we’re also
the key. there is

a story within
these cracks in
timid tremble

float, afloat.
up, up, and

away.

  1. I love this! I have never heard the brain described as ‘wrinkled-
    thinking-machine,’ that’s just perfect! ‘

    ‘we’re locked

    but we’re also
    the key.’

    That’s how I feel the more I practice meditation.

  12. I like the contrasts here…. that we’re locked and the key, that our brains are machines, but we can also be weightless… to me, it was like saying the world is neither black or white, but complicated grays.
