Must write poems or will scream

Must write poem or will scream
must sit still
percolating

I know New York City and I will be in love forever
i know we’ll be together some day soon
I know i need to trim my ends, they’re a bit
split

I know i am
Lu       teal

i don’t know where the moon is
i dreamt of a white expanse filled with steam and fog (first my fingers wrote god, maybe god was there too)
the haze cleared and i was hanging from a chain above a mystical sauna filled with
People who seemed to have fallen into an enchanted slumber

Dreams, amiright? Dreams dreams dreams

Two days ago my car was hit from behind and i can still feel the impact in my body
Crystal clear

Thank goodness i wasn’t holding a hot cup of tea
Stream of consciousness is refreshing
I am raw-dogging my drives these days
no music
No podcasts

Just this gorgeous, undulating
Endless expanse
the scenery
and the jokes i tell myself

It’s sometimes peaceful
Sometimes not

It’s all happening

Happy January 16 !!!
